John Bunyan
Died in 1688
John Bunyan was born in 1628, the son of an itinerant tinker from Bedfordshire, and followed the same trade. At sixteen he served in the Parliamentary army, joined a dissenting congregation in Bedford and began to preach. The Restoration forbade preaching to those who were not ordained: arrested in 1660, he spent twelve years in prison, refusing to promise that he would keep silent, and wrote several books there. He died in 1688 of a chill caught riding in the rain.
