[edit]

I have amended this page to remove the reference to Townsend as a 'non-conformist minister'. Townsend was ordained in the Church of England in 1763 and remained a practicising Anglican throughout his life, serving as the Rector of Pewsey from 1764 until his death. It is is true that Townsend was associated with the Countess of Huntingdon's Connection, establishing a chapel on her behalf in Dublin in 1767-8, and the Calvinist wing of Methodism in the the late 1760's and he is reputed to have allowed Methodists to preach from his pulpit in the 1780's but this does not make him a 'non-conformist minister'. Townsend was a fascintating figure in many other fields and I hope to return to add to this article in the near future.

I have now added further material on 'Townsend's mixture' and his relationship with William Smith, as well as incorporating the points above concerning his relationship with non-conforimaism. . I have further clarified Townsend's position on the poor laws. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Green ribbon (talkcontribs) 19:48, 5 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
