Enos Pegler

Enos Pegler (1869 to 13 October 1938) was a New Zealand photographer who also took part in the sport of lawn bowls. Born in King's Stanley, Gloucestershire, he emigrated with his family to New Zealand in 1875 and ran a photographic studio in Onehunga from 1894 to 1901, later working in Palmerston North and Auckland. His photographs of colonial New Zealand, including Elizabeth Yates and the funeral rites of the Māori monarch Tāwhiao, are held in Auckland Art Gallery, Te Papa and the National Library of New Zealand. He served as secretary of the Manawatu Cricket Association and sat on the Manurewa Town Board. In 1921 the board granted him nine months of leave so that he could travel to Britain as a member of the New Zealand bowls team. He died in Epsom, Auckland, in 1938.
