William Cole

William Cole (1718-1794) served as the Baptist minister at Longbuckby, 1768-1794 (he is not to be confused with William Coles, Baptist minister at Maulden, Bedfordshire).  Previously Cole had served as the initial minister of a Baptist church meeting in Church Plain, Yarmouth, but after two years he removed to Long Buckby in 1758, remaining there until his death in 1794.
