1753 1827 Bennet Buttons Clergyman Handwriting Hawker Plymouth Vicar
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the Reverend Robert Hawker (1753-1827), a prominent clergyman and prolific writer from Plymouth, England. Hawker is depicted here in his full ecclesiastical regalia, including a high collar, voluminous coat, and a distinctive tall hat adorned with a ribbon and a rosette. The intricate buttons on his coat add a sense of grandeur to his attire. In his hand, he holds a quill pen and a sheet of paper, reflecting his dual role as a man of the cloth and a dedicated writer. Reverend Hawker served as the Vicar of Charles in Plymouth for over forty years, during which time he gained a reputation for his eloquent sermons and his commitment to the spiritual and social welfare of his congregation. He was also an accomplished writer, producing numerous works on theology, history, and local folklore. One of his most famous publications was "The Poor Man's Friend," a collection of sermons and devotional pieces that became widely popular among the working classes. Despite his busy schedule, Hawker found time to engage with the local community and document the history and folklore of Plymouth and its surroundings. His meticulous handwriting and attention to detail are evident in his extensive manuscripts and notebooks, which are now preserved in various archives and libraries. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man who left an indelible mark on the history of Plymouth and the wider world of literature and theology.
