Samuel Brewer (1724 – 11 June, 1796) was an English dissenting clergyman who was minister at the Stepney Meeting House, London, from 1746 to 1796.[1] He succeeded John Hubbard.[2]
When Brewer took over Stepney Meeting House, the congregation was quite small, but over the years he built it up.[1] He was not sectarian maintaining friendly relations with Anglicans from the established church.[1]
He was particularly friends with George Whitefield, and also very supportive to Samson Occom and Nathaniel Whitaker during their visit to London to raise money for a Christian church in New Hampshire in British Colonial America.[1]
George Ford provided his funeral oration.[3]
His grandson was the hymnist James Edmeston.[4]
