The Hon and Rev. Baptist Wriothesley Noel was the brother of the 1st Earl of Gainsborough under the restored title, an Evangelical Anglican cleric, and the author of some 80 books and tracts. His ministry in central London, at St. John's Proprietary Chapel in the parish of Holborn from 1827 to 1848, attracted some 2000 regular hearers. A keen social reformer, he was nevertheless appointed a royal chaplain to Queen Victoria in 1841. He seceded from the Anglican Church in 1849 to become a Baptist minister, after which he ministered to as large a congregation at John Street Baptist Chapel in Holborn until his retirement in 1868.
