EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Reverend James Harrison Rigg (1821-1909) - A Pioneering Nonconformist Churchman and President of the Methodist Conference in 1878 James Harrison Rigg, born in 1821, was a prominent figure in the Nonconformist church movement during the Victorian era. This evocative photograph captures the distinguished visage of Rigg, who dedicated his life to religious leadership and social reform. Rigg's faith and commitment to the Methodist Church began in his early years, and he rose through the ranks to become a respected and influential figure. His tenure as President of the Methodist Conference in 1878 marked a significant milestone in his career, as he led the denomination during a time of great change and growth. The Methodist Conference is the governing body of the Methodist Church, and Rigg's presidency came at a pivotal moment in its history. The Church was expanding rapidly, and Rigg's leadership helped to guide it through the challenges and opportunities of the late 19th century. Rigg was known for his progressive views and his commitment to social justice. He was a strong advocate for education and believed that the Church had a vital role to play in improving the lives of the working class. He worked tirelessly to promote literacy and to provide opportunities for young people to receive a good education. This photograph, bearing Rigg's autograph, is a testament to his enduring legacy. Dated 1821-1909, it serves as a reminder of the remarkable life and contributions of this pioneering Nonconformist churchman. The autograph adds a personal touch, making this a valuable historical artifact that connects us to the past and the rich history of the Methodist Church.
