The Muggletonians were part of the Cambrian explosion of dissenting Protestant sects in the mid-17th century. Nodding acquaintances of the Fifth Monarchy Men. Contemporaneous with Samuel Pepys. You know, historical.

They survived down to 1979!

As late as the 1920s, diminishing numbers continued to gather at annual festivals to read the founders' writings and sing their hymns. When the "Last Muggletonian," Mr. Phillip Noakes of Matfield, Kent, died in 1979, the movement's extensive archives went to the British Library.
