A 19th-century Church of England clergyman whose surviving work reflects a calm, thoughtful style of religious writing. His best-known piece in modern circulation is an Easter sermon centered on burial, hope, and resurrection.

by Thomas (Curate of Clapham) Macgill
Thomas Macgill is known as a Church of England clergyman identified in print as the Curate of Clapham. The clearest confirmed work linked to him is "He was buried." A Sermon for Easter Even, published in 1849, where the title page also describes him as Evening Preacher at the Magdalen Hospital.
That sermon was printed in Clapham and presents a reflective, devotional treatment of Christ's burial, written in a direct and steady style rather than a highly ornate one. It has remained discoverable through major public-domain archives, which is why his name still surfaces for modern readers and listeners.
Reliable biographical detail beyond those publication facts is limited, so it is best to remember him primarily through the role named on his work: a Victorian Anglican preacher whose surviving sermon speaks in a gentle, serious voice about death, faith, and consolation.
