William Winstanley Hull
William Winstanley Hull (1794–1873) was an English barrister, writer, and
hymnographer. Hull wrote in favour of ecclesiastical reforms to the
Church of England, particularly its liturgy, in order to permit some
Dissenters to reintegrate into the church. Alongside his
vicar brother, William Winstanley Hull produced a petition on liturgical reform which was presented to the
House of Lords. His effort to locate the original manuscript of the
1662 ''Book of Common Prayer'' is credited with leading to its discovery by
Arthur Penrhyn Stanley. Hull's books of hymns, originally published anonymously, were later republished in his name during his lifetime.
