Timothy Manlove (18 Nov 1663 - 3 Aug 1699)

Presbyterian minister, practising physician, and author. In June 1693, Manlove accepted a call from the congregation at Pontefract, but following the death of Thomas Sharpe, minister of the Presbyterian congregation at Mill Hill, Leeds, (Thoresby’s congregation at the time) in September 1693, he was invited to become their minister and was finally persuaded by Richard Gilpin in February 1694 to accept the second call. David L. Wikes describes the relationship between Manlove and Thoresby thus:
Initially on friendly terms with Ralph Thoresby, the antiquary, who had played an active part in his choice, Manlove quarrelled with Thoresby's wish to continue hearing sermons by the local Anglican clergy. Manlove's censure encouraged Thoresby eventually to leave Mill Hill. (ODNB)
