Description: | The printer made an error in rendering Thomas Adkins' surname as the more common Atkins, perhaps understandably as he had been in post less than four years.
Thomas Adkins was Minister of Above Bar Cogregational Church in Southampton between 1810 and 1868, "the Golden Age of Above Bar". He oversaw the building of the new chapel opened in 1819. Born in Ravenstone, Buckinghamshire, Adkins became the classical tutor in an academy in Northampton at the age of 17 years. At twenty he became a student at Hoxton Theological Academy, and his first post was as a supply at Above Bar, originally for three weeks!
