an English Baptist minister, was born at Evesham, Worcestershire, in 1821. When he was about fourteen years of age he joined the Wesleyans, and subsequently became a local preacher, but when about twenty-two joined the Baptists. For two years he remained at home, devoting himself to theological studies, and preaching in the villages. In 1844 he entered Horton College, and in 1849 settled at Ross, in Herefordshire, where he remained about two years, and then removed to Newark-on-Trent, commencing his pastorate in that place in December 1851. He died February 28, 1853. See (Lond.) Baptist Handbook, 1854, page 46. (J.C.S.)
