William Seward, 1702 - 1740, evangelist, was born at Badsey in Worcestershire. He worked in London at the Treasury and as steward to Lord Windsor before becoming involved with the evangelist movement. In 1738 he became influenced by Charles Wesley and the evangelical revival and in that year joined the movement travelling around the country. He died a week after being injured during a disturbance with a hostile crowd at Hay-on-Wye, Powys. In 1978, mainly through the efforts of John S. Isherwood of Warrington, a memorial plaque was unveiled during a service to commemorate William Seward at St Mary's Church, Cusop in Herefordshire where he is buried.
Material was received on separate occasions, arranged in chronological order and incorporated into the General Collection of Bangor Manuscripts .
