Chipperfield, Thomas an English Congregational minister, was born at Essex in 1771. Being converted while yet a youth, he first united with the Church at Lower Street, Islington, and began to study for the ministry at Homerton College in 1792. His only regular pastorate was at Stretton-under-Fosse, Warwickshire, where he labored fourteen years. He then removed to Essex and established a school and preached in the village of Toilesbury; but afterwards removed to High gate in 1827, where he carried on his school till his death, September 5, 1852. Mr. Chipperfield was an amiable, sincere, but retiring Christian. See (Lond.) Cong. Yearbook, 1853, page 208.
