Rev. Joseph Toulson

Categories: Religion

From Famous Pulpits of our Churches - Caledonian Road, by by Rev. William Mincher: "In 1868 Joseph Toulson became minister. He was a man of wonderful resource, untiring patience, and consummate tact. Owing to his forethought and persistent energy the present church was built in 1870, at a cost of £2,600, which was a remarkable feat in those days. He remained on the station till 1873, having set the march of the circuit to a quick step, and a chivalrous note."

Toulson was born in Yorkshire into a family of Wesleyan Methodists. "he had a splendid physique, a powerful voice, a retentive memory, a fluent utterance, and an intimate acquaintance with the ‘Book of Books’. He possessed indomitable perseverance and an enormous capacity for work. Joseph was associated with the building of prominent London chapels at Grayshott Rd, Caledonain Rd, Dartmouth Park and Woodberry.... President of Conference in 1889 .. died ... whilst walking to Liverpool Street Station to catch a train to take a service in Norfolk."
