Ralph Robinson

Ralph Robinson (1614-1655) was a graduate of St. Catharine's College, Cambridge, and pastored a Presbyterian congregation at St. Mary Woolnoth, London. He was one of the Puritan ministers who objected to the execution of King Charles in 1649 and suffered imprisonment in the Tower of London for involvement in efforts to restore the Stuart monarchy in 1651. The Westminster divine Simon Ash described Robinson as an exemplary family man, pastor, and friend who was fitted "with gifts more than ordinary." Robinson was forty-one years old when he died.
