Brighton Town Mission (Brighton and Hove City Mission)Whilst living in Brighton, Bevan saw the deplorable state of the slums, and being a Christian wanted to "push back the tide of evil and ignorance"[5] in the town. During the Autumn of 1849 the discussions over some kind of 'mission' for Brighton were coming to a head. It was finally decided that a Town Mission should be established based on the same principles as those of the London City Mission. Men would be employed to go from door to door and they would be paid from funds raised by subscriptions from supporters.[5] LandJohn Bateman in his Great landowners, of 1883, lists Bevan as having:
