[18] F. A. Marshall, editor of _The Henry Irving Edition of Shakespeare_ and author of _A Study of Hamlet_, the comedy of _False Shame_, and many other works, died in London, December, 1889, much lamented. His widow,--the once distinguished actress, Miss Ada Cavendish,--died, at 34 Thurloe square, London, October 6, 1895. [19] The Traveller's Rest is 1481 feet above the sea-level, whereas the inn called The Cat and Fiddle,--a corruption of Caton le Fidèle, governor of Calais,--on Axe Edge, near Buxton, is 1700 feet above the level of the sea. [20] Mr. Wadley died at Pershore, April 4, 1895, and was buried in Bidford churchyard on April 10. [21] See in the _London Athenæum_, February 9, 1889, a valuable article, by Mr. John Taylor, on "Local Shakesperean Names" based upon, and incorporative of, some of the researches of Mr. Wadley. [22] William Butcher died on February 20, 1895, aged sixty-six, and was buried in the Stratford Cemetery. [23] See _An Account of the Discovery of the Body of King John, in the Cathedral Church of Worcester_. By Valentine Green, F.S.A., 1797. [24] Byron was born on January 22, 1788, and he died on April 19, 1824. [25] Since this paper was written the buildings that flanked the church wall have been removed, the street in front of it has been widened, and the church has been "restored" and considerably altered. [26] Revisiting this place on September 10, 1890, I found that the chancel has been lengthened, that the altar and the mural tablets have been moved back from the Byron vault, and that his gravestone is now outside of the rail. [27] It is now, 1896, said to be in the possession of a resident of one of our Southern cities, who says that he obtained it from one of his relatives, to whom it was given by the parish clerk, in 1834. [28] Dr. Joseph Wharton, in a letter to the poet Gay, described Lavinia Fenton as follows: "She was a very accomplished and most agreeable companion; had much wit, good strong sense, and a just taste in polite literature. Her person was agreeable and well made; though I think she could never be called a beauty. I have had the pleasure of being at table with her when her conversation was much admired by the first characters of the age, particularly old Lord Bathurst and Lord Granville." General James Wolfe, killed in battle, at the famous storming of Quebec, was born in 1726, and he died in 1759. Robert Clive, the famous soldier and the first Lord Clive, was born in 1725, and he died, a suicide,--haunted, it was superstitiously said, by ghosts of slaughtered East Indians,--in 1774. [29] The romantic house of Compton Wynyate was built of material taken from a ruined castle at Fulbrooke, by Sir William Compton, in the reign of Henry the Eighth. Wynyate signifies a vineyard.
