Beschreibung

An Original Signed Letter by Canon Edward Hoane. Letter dated 1887. Canon Edward Hoare was the vicar of Holy Trinity ( Link ) for 40 years and became known as the ?Protestant pontiff of Tunbridge Wells?.He was an outstanding preacher in the evangelical tradition who exercised his great talents to improve the spiritual life and shape the character of the town during the mid-Victorian period. His sermons were so powerful and compelling that parishioners would fill the church to the point of overflowing and many would travel from miles around just to hear him preach. Such was his powerful spiritual influence that the whole town and all classes benefited from his sermons, many rich and well-known families attracted by his personality bought or built mansions and villas and settled down in the town, developing a wealthy residential area. He also operated temperance meetings and soup kitchens for manual workers and the poor. He was also instrumental in creating three new parishes and their churches in the expanding Victorian town. His affect on the town cannot be underestimated, it has been said that "his influence over the community's morals was as great as Beau Nash's had been over its manners".Canon Hoare was the leading figure in the religious life of Tunbridge Wells for over forty years until his death in 1894. .
