Anthony Burges

Anthony Burges or Burgess (died 1664) was a Nonconformist English clergyman, a prolific preacher and writer.

[1][2] He was a son of a schoolmaster at Watford, and not related to Cornelius Burgess, nor to John Burges, his predecessor at Sutton Coldfield.

"[7] From 1635 to 1662 he was Rector at Sutton Coldfield, but his lectures upon Justification were preached in London, at St Lawrence Jewry.

[9] During the First English Civil War he took refuge in Coventry, and lectured to the parliamentary garrison.

He was deprived of his position as Rector in 1662,[10] after the Restoration, despite John Hacket's urging him to conform, and thereafter lived at Tamworth.
