Edward Blewett returned from Australia to London in 1864 to take up training at the Pastor's College (later Spurgeon's College). He took up the pastorate at the Westbury Leigh Chapel in 1866 and remained there until around 1870-71. (Edward was still registered to vote in Westbury Leigh in 1872.) Spurgeon's College archives record him as 'without pastorate' from 1872 to 1885.
