Charles Simeon of Cambridge was a man of great influence. He was a friend and contemporary of William Wilberforce and closely linked with what became known as the Clapham sect. He was vicar of Holy Trinity Church, Cambridge, for over 50 years. He played a key role in founding the Bible Society and the Church Mission Society. Further, he was the first to see the need for formal theological training for ordinands.
