Theophilus Browne

He took holy orders after achieving the degrees of both a Bachelor and Master of Arts at Christ's College, Cambridge.

In 1807 he left Warminster after quarrelling with the congregation there [3] for the post of classical and mathematical tutor at Manchester College, York.

[4] He had preached at Norwich as a candidate in the previous January, and appears to have dissatisfied the college authorities by doing so without notice to them.

His ministry at Norwich was unhappy; he is said to have magnified his office and not to have understood the dislike of his congregation to anything in the shape of a dogmatic creed.

For a short time he acted as a supply at Chester, but removed to Barton Street Chapel, Gloucester, in 1815.
