A London barrister, brother-in-law to the Vicar of Bullhampton, who produced the evidence that the Methodist chapel opposite the vicarage gates was built on glebe land.

"...a tall, thin, man, with eager grey eyes, and a long projecting nose, on which, his enemies in the courts of law were wont to say, that his wife could hang a kettle, in order that the unnecessary heat coming from his mouth might not be wasted. His hair was already grizzled, and, in the matter of whiskers, his heavy impatient hand had nearly altogether cut away the only intended ornament to his face" - The Vicar of Bullhampton
