About the author
Nathaniel Hough was an English Anglican clergyman and author active in the early 1700s. Records of his printed sermons identify him as a fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, chaplain to the Countess Fauconberg, and lecturer at Kensington before he later became rector of St. George the Martyr, Southwark.
His published work is made up mainly of sermons, including thanksgiving and anniversary sermons from the first decades of the 18th century. One of the best-known was preached before the House of Commons in January 1724, showing that he had a respected place in public religious life.
He died in 1737. No suitable confirmed portrait image was found during this search, so none is included here.
