Timothy Manlove (1663–1699) was an English Presbyterian minister and physician. Dying young, he is now known as a supporter of the anti-materialist philosophy of Richard Bentley. [1]
Son of Edward Manlove the poet, he was born at Ashbourne, Derbyshire. He was educated at a dissenting academy, the Sheriffhales school of John Woodhouse. [2]
