History
Samuel Romily Hall (1812-1876), a British Methodist preacher, was born in Bristol, England. A memorial in the Wesleyan Methodist Church Conference Minutes for 1876 records Hall, "Having given himself to the Methodist ministry, he studied the records of its rise and progress."
Hall was an author of four books which reflected his interest in asserting that British Methodism was distinct from Anglicans and from Dissenting Congregations in England.
In 1868, Hall was elected president of the British Methodist Conference. In the last four years of his ministry, he was stricken by paralysis which limited his work.
