Rev Williamson served as Minister of TBC from an enthusiastic call in 1891 until his death in 1899.

Rev Robert John Williamson was born in Levenwick, Shetland in about 1857.Having decided to enter the pastorate he first attended Edinburgh University.He then moved down to London where he spent three years at "Mr Spurgeon's Theological College".He took up his first pastorate at Studley near Redditch in 1886 and he was there for six years.He appears in Studley, Warwickshire in the 1891 Census as a Baptist Minister age 32 lodging with a family called Oakley.He married a Studley girl, Miss Helen Hall, in December 1892, soon after starting his second (and last) pastorate at Teddington.

Rev Williamson had a personal life which might merit the word tragic - his wife, Helen, died on 17 May 1894 after they had only been married just over a year.
