William Morgan (1782–1858)
[6][7] At this period, Morgan was introduced to Mary Fletcher at Madeley, Shropshire, by John Eyton, the vicar of Wellington to whom Brontë was curate.[9] John Fennell moved north in 1811 to Rawdon, West Yorkshire, a founding master of Woodhouse Grove School.[17] In his Christian Instructions, Morgan recommended nonconformist theological literature, and the works of Thomas Erskine of Linlathen.[18] Charlotte Brontë, who regarded Morgan as a "stuffy and bombastic pedant", received from him a gift of the Book of Common Prayer in 1831.In late 1825, when Henry Heap as vicar of Bradford ordered his clergy to have their congregations sign petitions, requesting that Richard Fountayne Wilson should stand for parliament, Morgan did more than most.[22] Most of the Bradford clerics made the petition available to sign in the vestry: Morgan was in the smaller group who read from Heap's requisition during the service.[21] Esther de Waal, in reviewing Owen Chadwick's The Victorian Church and related works, placed Morgan as one of the "Evangelical Tory clergyman" who showed the Church of England's support for the "movement for factory reform", described as almost universal in the major manufacturing towns of northern England (with Halifax as an exception).
