Born: 1816, Manchester, England.
Westall emigrated to America around 1830, and lived with his father in Lowell, Massachusetts. Around 1837, he moved to Providence, Rhode Island, and in 1838, to Fall River, Massachusetts. He worked in Fall River for 36 years as a designer at the American Print Works, studying theology in his spare time. Though he had planned to become an Episcopal minister, he was influenced by Emmanuel Swedenborg’s works, and he joined the Church of New Jerusalem instead. He was a lay reader and service leader for many years, but declined a number of requests to become a full time minister.
During this period, Westall visited France, England, Switzerland, Italy, Egypt, the Holy Land, Turkey, and Greece. These travels and experiences provided background for essays, poems, and other literary efforts. For a while, he served as a newspaper editor in Fall River.
In 1877, Westall became a full time Swedenborgian pastor, and was very active in state and regional affairs. He served as a delegate to political conventions, as a member of the school committee, a library trustee, and in other positions. He also enjoyed playing the violin and composing music. In 1880, Brown University gave him an honorary degree. The Westall School in Fall River, Massachusetts, is named after him.
