Samuel Garratt

Samuel Garratt (20 February 1817, London – 21 March 1906, Ipswich) was an English clergyman active in the Evangelical Party of the Church of England.

His parish included the St Giles Rookery, a notorious slum occupied by a community of Irish Catholics.

[2] He attracted a broad range of Evangelical Anglicans to his church where he preached about "prophetical questions" having closely studied the Book of Revelation.

[1] In 1867 he left London for Ipswich where he was appointed the minister for St Margaret's Church by the Simeon's Trustees, an Evangelical Anglican organisation.

He gave up his benefice in 1895, but remained active, sharing his understanding of the prophetical aspects of the Christian scriptures with the readers of The Times of London until shortly before his death.
