Anthony Horneck

He became an influential evangelical figure in London from the later 1670s, in partnership with Richard Smithies, curate of St Giles Cripplegate.

He resigned Dolton on obtaining the Savoy preachership; he had to hire a house near his church, became the father of four children, and gave to charity with an open hand.

Edward Russell recommended him to the Queen, who obtained for him a promise from Tillotson of the next vacant prebend at Westminster Abbey.

He attended Borosky and Stern, convicted of the murder of Thomas Thynne in 1682, and with Gilbert Burnet published an account of their confessions and behaviour.

[4][2] On 5 May 1689, Edward Sclater, vicar of Putney, who had gone over to Rome under James II, recanted publicly at the Savoy, and Horneck published an account of the affair.

[2] Three of his four children survived him: Anthony Horneck died 31 January 1697, after much suffering from kidney stones, and was buried in Westminster Abbey.
