<p class="just">A cobbler and choir trainer, Clark led the singing of the Psalms at the Wesleyan Chapel, Canterbury, and later at the Unitarian Church in Canterbury. It has been claimed he never actually joined the Unitarians, though he sympathized with them, and he resigned from the Methodists. Clark wrote a number of anthems, including &#8220;Awake Up, My Glory,&#8221; &#8220;Daughter of Zion&#8221; and &#8220;Since I Have
Placed My Trust.&#8221; His other works include:</p>
<ul>

<li><em>Second Sett of Psalm and Hymn Tunes</em>, <em>circa</em> 1810 (&#8220;adapted to the use of country choirs&#8221;)</li>
