Samuel Stennett

Samuel Stennett (1727-95) succeeded his father, Joseph Stennett (1792-1758), as minister to the Baptist congregation at Little Wild Street, London, where he served until his death in 1795. The Stennetts were known for their wealth, and the younger Stennett’s stately home in fashionable Muswell Hill, in north London, bespeaks his social standing. Like Anne Steele, Samuel Stennett was a hymnwriter of some note.
