JB has found a curate - these are surprisingly rare, either because the exams have become harder or because new churches and chapels are springing up everywhere. The curate is the grandson of Bishop Robert Lowth - quotes part of the latter's epitaph on his deceased daughter. The curate's father was a little wild in his earlier years. Refers to Robert Lowth's verses (son of the bishop, father of the curate) on the Billesdon Copley Hunt. Again mentions the breakfast teapot (see 2).
Clavering, Henry Mordaunt, 1766-1850
