John Collinges

John Collinges (1623–1690) was an English Presbyterian theologian, and prolific writer. He lived and worked in Norwich for more than forty years where he played a major role in reviving and administering the City Library. He was one of the representatives of the Presbyterians in the Savoy Conference, but was later forced to resign his livings.[1] Frances Hobart became his patron and he became her personal chaplain. He delivered services in a chapel she created in her Norwich home.
