Autorenporträt

English nonconformist preacher and doctor Richard Gilpin (1625-1700) was well known in the north. Isaac Gilpin of Strickland Ketel in the parish of Kendal, Westmorland, and Ann Tonstall, daughter of Ralph Tonstall of Coatham-Mundeville in County Durham, had their second child. He was born in Strickland and baptized in Kendal on October 23, 1625. He went to school at the University of Edinburgh and graduated with an MA on July 30, 1646. There, he first studied medicine and then religion. There is no record of the date or way of his appointment. He began his preaching in Lambeth and continued it at the Savoy as John Wilkins' assistant. When he came back to the north, he preached at Durham. William Morland was locked up in the house of Greystoke, Cumberland, in 1650. A well-known priest named West had been in charge for about two years before he died of consumption. Gilpin took over after him in 1652 or early 1653. There were four chapels in the parish of Greystoke, and Gilpin sent ministers to all of them. His parish was set up like a congregation, with a small group of communicants and a staff of deacons. Cumberland had not yet accepted the Presbyterian system.
