Atmore, Charles (1759–1826)

A native of Heacham, Norfolk, Atmore entered the itinerant ministry in 1781 (see Works, 10:507). He soon became one of JW's 'inner cabinet' and in 1786 Wesley ordained him for ministry in Scotland. He played an active role in Methodist matters after JW's death, including a time as President of Conference. See DEB, 36–37; Minutes (post-Wesley, 1826), 6:111; and Vickers, Dictionary, 14.
