William John Brock (c.1817–1863) was an English clergyman, religious writer, and poet.

Life

Brock was born about 1817, and married about 1845. Obtaining after that the degree of B.A., he took holy orders, and entered the church as curate of St. George's, Barnsley, Yorkshire. He left Barnsley in 1858 to become incumbent of Hayfield, Derbyshire.

He died at Hayfield on 27 April 1863, and was buried there.

Works

In 1847 he brought out a small volume of poems, 'Wayside Verses,' dating the preface London, 22 September. In 1855 he published at Barnsley, by subscription, 'Twenty-seven Sermons,' which had a second edition, dating it Hayfield Parsonage, 22 September 1858, with the farewell sermon he had preached on leaving Barnsley. After his death were published 'The Rough Wind stayed,' a volume of 'The Library of Excellent Literature,' 1867, and 'The Bright Light in the Clouds,' 1870.
