St. Giles Cripplegate, where Burroughs pastored in LondonJeremiah
Burroughs was one of the most popular preachers in London during his time
there. He was one of the Independent members of the Westminster Assembly
of Divines, and a Congregationalist. He spent 6 years at a small
country church (St. Margaret's, Tivetshall), which is still standing and in
use. During his time in London, he preached the mornings at the church
in Stepney, outside of London, where William Greenhill preached in the
afternoon. In the afternoons Burroughs preached at St. Giles
Cripplegate.
Burroughs was so highly regarded by his peers that they published 13
volumes of his sermons after his death. His most famous work is The Rare
Jewel of Christian Contentment, published by the Banner of Truth Trust.
