Anti-Maynooth Conference was a conference hosted in London in May 1845 by Conservatives, evangelical Anglicans and the Protestant Association to campaign against the Maynooth Grant and British State funding of the Roman Catholic Maynooth College.〔'Proceedings of the Anti-Maynooth Conference of 1845' Thelwall, A.S., London:1865.〕 Opponents of the Maynooth Bill formed a Committee and held a conference in the Rotunda, in Dublin. In England, The Protestant Association has set up the ''Anti-Maynooth Committee'' composed of Anglicans, Congregationalists, Methodists and Presbyterians.〔'Popular Anti-Catholicism in Mid-Victorian England' By Denis G. Paz〕 The Committee collected over 10,000 petitions with over 1.2million signatures against the Maynooth Bill.〔(Providence and Empire: Religion Politics and Society in the United Kingdom ) by Stewart .J Brown.〕 The common platform shared by strands of protestantism was quite unique, although their reasoning was quite different, mainstream Anglicans opposed the Maynooth Grant since it undermined the Established Church whereas non-conformists opposed it since they were opposed to all state religious establishments〔(The question of Ireland: Seeking conciliation 1844-1845 )〕 and Evangelicals opposed the bill since it undermined attempts to convert Irish Catholics to the protestant Faith.〔'The Maynooth Grant, the Dissenters and Disestablishment, 1845- 1847' by Machin, G.I.T, English Historical Review, Vol. 82, No. 322 (1967),〕 The Maynooth Bill was introduced by Sir Robert Peel in April 1845. Sir Culling Eardley the former Liberal MP served as chairman of the Committee and Conference.〔(An Anti Maynooth Chronicle ) The Tablet, 10 May 1845.〕 Thomas Thompson served as Secretary to the Dublin Anti Maynooth Committee. The Conference in London between 30 April and 3 May 1845 with over 1000 participants from Ireland and Britain attend held in Exeter Hall, London. Active in the campaign against the Maynooth Grant was the Rev. A.S. Thelwall who compiled the minutes of the 1845 meeting.〔(PROCEEDINGS - ANTI-MAYNOOTH CONFERENCE OF 1845.
