<p class="just">Byrom’s father was a linen draper in Manchester. Byrom attended King’s School, Chester, then went on to Cambridge, where he graduated M.A. and became a Fellow of Trinity College. But, declining to take Holy Orders, he resigned and soon after married his cousin, Elizabeth Byrom, against the wishes of both families. He earned a living by teaching shorthand, for which he invented his own system. In 1723, he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society. The following year, his
|
|
brother died, and John inherited the family estates and returned to Manchester. He frequently visited Cheetham’s Hospital in Manchester, and wrote many hymns for the boys there.</p>
