William Grimshaw

To commemorate the 300th anniversary of William Grimshaw's birth, Hall Green invited biographer Faith Cook to give a lecture on the life of this man who first made Haworth famous.  Cook would contend that were it not for Grimshaw's ministry the Bronte family would never have come to Haworth and perhaps the much loved writings of the Bronte sisters would never have been created.

We learn of Grimshaw's birth and early ministry leading up to the events that would transform Grimshaw, through the sufferings of another.  As a result of this regenerated spirit, we discover Grimshaw on a new mission, seeking to convince men of their sin and need of Christ.  This mission would see him preaching to thousands throughout the north of England, cause him to suffer persecution and see him adopt some unusual practices.

Hear the full lecture and learn more of the man at the very heart of the English revival.
