William Orme (1787–1830) was a Scottish Congregational minister, known as a biographer of Richard Baxter and other nonconformist figures.
About this time Orme came under the influence of James Alexander Haldane, whose preaching at the Tabernacle in Leith Walk, Edinburgh, had attracted him.
[1] On 7 October 1824, he became pastor of the congregational church at Camberwell Green, Surrey, and soon afterwards was elected foreign secretary of the London Missionary Society.
[1] He published, in addition to separate sermons and pamphlets: Posthumous was: His two volumes on Richard Baxter were commended by Sir James Stephen.
Andrew Thomson superseded him as a biographer of John Owen, and Joseph Ivimey for William Kiffin.
