Born in 1806, he spent his early years in Falmouth, Cornwall, before embarking on a career in engineering at the Neath Abbey Iron Works in Wales. Tregelles found solace in his faith throughout his life, and in 1827 experienced a profound spiritual awakening that led him to become a vocal advocate for Christianity. He traveled extensively, sharing his beliefs and promoting the temperance movement.
