William Bridges (preacher)
William Bridges (1802 – 1874) was a Methodist local preacher, hat block maker and founder of the Plumstead Peculiar People. Early life William Bridges was born in Woodbridge, Suffolk to John Bridges (1761–1841), and Mary Block (1761– ), he was baptised at St Mary, Woodbridge on 8 May 1802. His father is listed as a Wheelwright on the 1841 census, aged 80, and still living in Suffolk. Little else is known about Bridges very early years. By 1824 at the time of his marriage to Ann Siggers (1800–1882) he was living in South London, at 8 Gravel Lane Southwark, working as a hat block turner (lathe worker). Bridges remained a hat block maker for over 50 years; it was a trade that required considerable woodworking skills, perhaps learnt from his father. The area of Southwark St Saviour near the Thames close to Blackfriars Bridge had been the traditional home of hat making since the days of Queen Elizabeth, so he was well placed to make a living. At some point during the early 1830s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Peculiar People
The Peculiar People were a Christian movement that was originally an offshoot of the Wesleyan denomination, founded in 1838 in Rochford, Essex, by James Banyard, a farm-worker's son born in 1800. They derive their name from a term of praise found in both the Old Testament and the New Testament of the King James Bible, in Deuteronomy and 1 Peter. In the King James Version of the Bible, first published in 1611, Deuteronomy 14:2 includes the verse "For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.", and 1 Peter 2:9 reads "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light." The Peculiar People is also a phrase used to describe the Quakers, which they adopted with some pride. Foundation and spread Banyard was frequently drunk ...

John Sirgood
John Sirgood (1821–1885) was a Christian fundamentalist lay preacher, shoemaker and draper. Early life John Sirgood was born in Avening, Gloucestershire on 21 August 1821 into a family of weavers. His father George Sirgood (1789–1865) married Sarah Emmery (1796–1851) on 25 February 1816 in Hilperton, Wiltshire. Sirgood had three brothers, Joseph, Robert and William and a sister Mary.

Census records reveal his father and a branch of the ''Sirgood'' family living in Kennington south London in the mid 19th Century, which is where John Sirgood settled sometime during the 1840s. He became a disciple of William Bridges (1802 - 1874) a hat block maker based in Southwark who was leader of the Peculiar People in London from c.1837 and the man Sirgood called his 'father in Gospel'.

Methodism
Methodism, also called the Methodist movement, is a group of historically related denominations of Protestant Christianity whose origins, doctrine and practice derive from the life and teachings of John Wesley. George Whitefield and John's brother Charles Wesley were also significant early leaders in the movement. They were named ''Methodists'' for "the methodical way in which they carried out their Christian faith". Methodism originated as a revival movement within the 18th-century Church of England and became a separate denomination after Wesley's death. The movement spread throughout the British Empire, the United States, and beyond because of vigorous missionary work, today claiming approximately 80 million adherents worldwide. Wesleyan theology, which is upheld by the Methodist churches, focuses on sanctification and the transforming effect of faith on the character of a Christian. Distinguishing doctrines include the new birth, assurance, imparted righteousness, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Norwood Cemetery
West Norwood Cemetery is a rural cemetery in West Norwood in London, England. It was also known as the South Metropolitan Cemetery.

New Forest Shakers
The New Forest Shakers or Walworth Jumpers (also Children of God, Girlingites or Convulsionists) were a new religious movement created by Mary Anne Girling (or Mary Ann Girling) in the 1870s in England. Originally from Suffolk, Girling preached the Second Coming, celibacy, chastity and communal life. In Suffolk Mary Ann Clouting was born in Little Glemham, Suffolk in 1827. She married George Stanton Girling and they had two children. Sometime around 1858, Girling received a vision from Jesus Christ in her Ipswich bedroom. She apparently received a second vision in 1864 informing her that the second coming was at hand. Girling left her husband and children, and travelled around the villages and towns of Suffolk preaching her mission. Within 18 months "Girlingism" had 50 adherents. This ecstatic, esoteric sect claimed that they died with conversion, and were then reborn to eternal life. Walworth Jumpers In 1871, having been persecuted and threatened in Suffolk, Girling went to Londo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
