John Fawcett was an English composer, chiefly of sacred music. He was born in Wennington, Lancashire, and began life working as a shoemaker, following in his father's footsteps. His innate musicality soon led him to seek a career in music, at first learning in the village choir, then playing the clarinet in a local militia band. In time he was employed as choirmaster successively at the St. George's, the Wesleyan, and the Independent chapels in Kendal, then, from 1817 at the Holland Wesleyan Sunday school, Farnworth, for seven years.
