About the author

Nathaniel Hough was an English cleric and sermon writer active in the early 1700s. Records for his printed works identify him as rector of St. George's, Southwark, and lecturer of Kensington, and later as a Doctor of Divinity.

His surviving publications are mainly sermons, including works tied to the anniversaries of November 5 and January 30, as well as a sermon preached before the House of Commons in 1724. Those titles suggest a writer closely engaged with the religious controversies and public ceremonies of early Georgian England.

Little biographical detail seems to be readily available beyond his church roles and publications, but catalog and bibliographic records consistently place his death in 1737. Because no suitable confirmed portrait was found in the sources reviewed, no profile image is included here.
