Christopher Newman Hall
Rev. Dr. Christopher Newman Hall LLB (May 22, 1816 - February 18, 1902), born at Maidstone and known in later life as a 'Dissenter's Bishop', was one of the most celebrated nineteenth century English Nonconformist divines. He was active in social causes; supporting Abraham Lincoln and abolition of slavery during the American Civil War, the Chartist cause, and arranging for influential Nonconformists to meet Gladstone. ''Come to Jesus'', first published in 1848 also contributed to his becoming a household name throughout Britain, the USA and further afield - by the end of the century the book had been translated into about forty languages and sold four million copies worldwide.
==Early life and the Albion Chapel==
Christopher Newman Hall's father was John Vine Hall (1774–1860), proprietor and printer of the ''Maidstone Journal'', and the author of a popular evangelical work called ''The Sinner's Friend''. Christopher's first university degree was a London University BA in theology obtained at Highbury College, Middlesex in 1841. The following year he began his pastoral work at a Congregational chapel, the Albion Chapel, Albion Street, Hull. In 1843 he travelled through Scotland with a companion, where he found himself debating slavery with two American ladies who were slave owners themselves.〔Jeary, Margaret and Mulhern, Mark (Editors).

At Hull, Newman Hall engaged actively in social causes, including support for Chartism and temperance reform. To promote the latter cause he wrote ''The Scriptural Claims of Teetotalism'', whilst his thoughts on Chartism and political causes, being influenced by the weekly ''Christian Socialist'' written by Charles Kingsley, Frederick Maurice and Thomas Hughes, was brought together in a small pamphlet entitled ''Divine Socialism, or The Man Christ Jesus''. In 1846 Christopher Newman Hall married his first wife, Charlotte, only daughter of Dr William Gordon FLS, both of Hull. During the twelve years of his ministry at Albion Chapel, the membership increased greatly, necessitating a branch chapel. A school was also opened. His popularity led to invitations to preach at many of Yorkshire's Free Churches in Beverley, Selby, Leeds, Huddersfield, Filey, HarRogate, York, and Ripon.
