Abstract
"The Clapham Sect was a small group of upper-class, influential, evangelical men and women who congregated in Clapham, which was then a small village just a few miles south of Westminster, in the late eighteenth century. There was little that was sectarian about them. They were all members of the Anglican church and enjoyed the ministry and counsel ofJohn Venn (1759-1813), who became Rector of Clapham in 1793. The designation 'sect' may possibly have derived from a verbal jibe by the literary critic and wit, Sydney Smith (1771-1845)."
