 | | Rector of Bemerton from 1692 to 1711, was, unlike Herbert, a famous poet in his own time, and the suspicion is that he came to Bemerton as a sinecure, to permit him time to do his 'real' work of writing. |
 | | While he was Rector of Bemerton, he found time to travel extensively, and write travelogues about the places he visited, and biographies - including that of Sir Robert Walpole. |
 | | In 1803 he became a Canon-residentary of Salisbury cathedral, in 1805 Archdeacon of Wiltshire, and held other parishes in plurality with Bemerton, including Stourton, and was Chaplain to the Tower of London. |
