Thomas Edmonds (1784-1860) was the son of John Edmonds, Baptist minister at Guilsborough (see above). After completing his studies at Bristol Academy and Marischal College, Aberdeen (M.A., 1806), the younger Edmonds served for a time as minister at Clipston before removing to Exeter in 1809. He assumed the pastorate at St. Andrew’s Street in Cambridge in 1812, remaining in that capacity until 1831. His publications included The Gospel Committed to Faithful Men:  A Sermon Delivered in London, on Thursday, June 20, 1816, Before the Subscribers and Friends of the Stepney Academical Institution (1816); Christian Missions Vindicated and Encouraged:  A Sermon Preached on Behalf of the Baptist Mission, at Queen’s Street Chapel, Lincoln’s Inn Fields, on Wednesday morning, June 23, 1819 (1819); and Christian Union:  A Circular Letter Addressed to the Ministers and Churches of the Cambridgeshire Association (1834).
