Thomas Jarman (1776-1861) was an English composer, chiefly of hymn tunes.

Jarman was born 21 December 1776 in Clipston, Northamptonshire.[1] His father was a tailor and Baptist lay preacher.[2]

Like his father, Jarman began his career as a tailor. After teaching himself music, Jarman changed career to work as a choir leader and composer, beginning at the local Baptist church.[3] Under his guidance, the choir travelled to nearby locales.[1] Around 1840, Jarman moved to Leamington, Warwickshire, where he was in charge of the music at the local Methodist church, and remained for approximately seven years before returning to Clipston.[3]

From the beginning of the 1800s to 1860, Jarman published 17 collections of songs, hymns, and anthems, including Sacred Music,[1][3] accounting for over 600 total songs.[2]

Jarman died on 19 February 1861 in Clipston,[1] where he was also buried.[3]
