Richard Hubberthorne (original) (raw)

Richard Hubberthorne (1628 (baptized) – 17 August 1662) was an early Quaker preacher and writer active in the 1650s and early 1660s until his death in Newgate prison. Hubberthorne is generally overshadowed by more famous early Quakers like George Fox, James Nayler, and Edward Burrough. William Braithwaite Beginnings of Quakerism includes him among the "heroic pioneers of the new movement", but puts him last, and later describes his writing as having "no distinction either of style or matter".
