or D.D., an English divine, was born about 1752, near Whitchurch, Shropshire. He was sent to the grammar-school, where by assiduity he made great progress in learning, staying there until he became the master. To his advancement in literature his excellent grammar in the Hebrew language bears sufficient testimony. He entered the ministry as curate of the Rev. John Fletcher, vicar of Madeley, Salop, and subsequently labored with the Rev. Dr. Conyers, at Deptford. After much labor and perseverance, he erected a church in Manchester, and in 1788 became its first pastor. Dr. Bayley retained this charge till his death, which occurred April 2, 1812. His diligence in pastoral duty, his faithfulness in the ministrations of the pulpit, and his purity of life. were such as to place him in the front rank of the servants of Christ. He published The Christian's Choice (Manchester, 1801, 12mo). See (Lond.) Christian Observer, August, 1812, p. 477.
