The late Rev. Thomas Binney, 1874. Engraving from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company, of an 'eminent Dissenting minister...He had been a preacher and pastor of the Independent or Congregationalist religious denomination about fifty years. During the greater part of this time he officiated at the Weigh House Chapel, or meeting-house, in Monument-yard...The chapel in London was built for him in 1834, upon the site of a hall...over the ancient "Weigh House" or "Staple," which was the place used in former times for the official weighing of foreign merchandise brought to London...he latterly declared that he had "no great objection either to moderate episcopacy or to liturgical forms;" and a variation of the latter was introduced into his own Sunday services. He visited the United States and Canada in 1845, and in 1847 went to Australia, where he remained two years. On his return to England he again took charge of the Weigh House "church and congregation." But, when the demolition of the building was proposed for the Easi London Railway, Dr. Binney retired, in January, 1871, from the post he had so long occupied'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
