Theophilus Lobb

Born in London on 17 August 1678, he was the son of Stephen Lobb, by the daughter of Theophilus Polwhele, nonconformist minister at Tiverton in Devon.

In 1702 he settled as a nonconformist minister at Guildford, Surrey, and there came to know a physician, from whom he received medical instruction.

[1] In 1732 Lobb received a call from the congregation at Haberdashers' Hall, London, but after his ministry had failed to prove acceptable he concentrated to physic from about 1736.

[1] Lobb died in the parish of Christ Church, London, on 19 May 1763, and was buried in Bunhill Fields.

John Greene of Chelmsford, Essex, published The Power of Faith and Godliness exemplified in some Memoirs of Theophilus Lobb.
