Wilton (Samuel Wilton) Rix, Samuel Wilton Brief Records of the Independent Church at Beccles, Suffolk Including biographical notices of its ministers,and some account of the rise of nonconformity in the East Anglian counties Transcribed from the 1837 Jackson and Walford edition by David Price "Brief Records of the Independent Church at Beccles, Suffolk" by S. Wilton Rix is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work delves into the history and development of the Independent Church in Beccles, including biographical notices of its ministers and a broader narrative on the rise of nonconformity in East Anglia. It aims to highlight the importance of understanding the principles and events that shaped this movement, particularly in relation to the historical context of religious dissent. The opening of the text introduces the author’s motivations for compiling this historical account, inspired by the reopening of the church and the desire to preserve its records as educational aids for the youth of the congregation. Rix emphasizes the significance of nonconformity and personal religion, warning that a lack of knowledge about their religious heritage could lead future generations away from the principles upheld by their ancestors. He outlines the historical context of dissenting practices, particularly under various monarchs, and sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the events, individuals, and theological principles that characterized the Independent movement and shaped the church in Beccles.
