Thomas Newcomen
Thomas Newcomen was an English inventor who created the atmospheric engine, the first practical fuel-burning engine in 1712. He was an ironmonger by trade and a Baptist lay preacher by calling. He was born in Dartmouth, Devon, England to a merchant family and baptised at St. Saviour's Church on 28 February 1664.

His ironmonger's business specialised in designing, manufacturing and selling tools for the mining industry.
