James Guinness Rogers

James Guinness Rogers (29 December 1822 – 20 August 1911), was a British Nonconformist clergyman.[1]

Rogers was born at Enniskillen, Ireland. He was educated at Silcoates School, Wakefield, and Trinity College, Dublin. From 1865 to 1900 he was a minister of the Clapham Congregational Church. He is best remembered for his close association with Dr. Dail in the Liberal-Nonconformist education and disestablishment campaigns of 1865-75, and for his friendship with Gladstone and Lord Rosebery, who consulted him as the foremost representative of Nonconformist statesmanship. He died at Clapham. One of his grandsons was the poet E. A. Mackintosh[2] (1893-1917; see also High Wood).
