Richard Hopper

Richard Hopper (1738-1826) ministered at Friar Lane in Nottingham from 1769-1803. He first preached at Bishop Burton, near Hull, where he was the first person to supply the pulpit there. He was succeeded by David Kinghorn in 1771, with Hopper having already taken the position at Friar Lane in 1769, where he remained until June 1803. See John T. Godfrey and James Ward, The History of Friar Lane Baptist Church, Nottingham (Nottingham: H. B. Saxton, 1903), 198-99.
