Michael Sadler, the son of a man named James Sadler, was born in Snelston, Derbyshire, on January 3rd 1780. His family practiced the religion of the Curch of England but he later rejected their views and became sypathetic of the Methodist Church or Methodism. One of his earliest publications was An Apology for Methodists written in in 1797. In 1800 he moved to Leeds and began to work with his father and in 1810 he started a company with his brother selling Irish linen. During this period of his life he became less interested in business and more interested in the experience of the poor which stayed with him for the rest of his days.
