Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	This study examines the life and work of Thomas Robinson, an Evangelical minister in Leicester from 1774 to 1813. From 1778, as vicar of St. Mary-de-Castro, he devoted himself to parish work, preaching and pastoral care, and to the organisation of charity schools, a benevolent society and a ‘Female asylum’. He was active in support of the national campaign to abolish slavery, in the development of foreign missions, and in the campaigns to supply Bibles to the poor. He was friendly and sympathetic towards Baptist colleagues such as William Carey and Robert Hall, but was concerned about threats to unbalance the religious and political status quo, and by opposition from dissidents within his own congregation. As a result he failed to encourage political reforms, even those which dealt with the civil rights of Dissenters.
