Talk:Henry Phillpotts

References

If the lines which have ^{[citation needed]} are verified by the books listed in the Reference sections, I'd suggest replacing the cite requests with <ref>Burns, Arthur. Henry Phillpotts, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' p.161.</ref> replacing the author, source and page numbers as relevant. No alteration to the Reference section need be done.--Alf ^melmac 15:13, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Article lacks proper referencing, persondata, pictures and infobox. A bit of work and this could turn B class. -Duribald 12:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

House of Commons?

In the "Character" section it says ".... a genuinely religious man with his religion concealed behind porcupine quills, he constantly quarrelled in the House of Commons, exposing opponents' follies with consummate ability, a tongue and eyes of flame, an ugly tough face and vehement speech. (Chadwick I, 1997, p 217)" - I find this unlikely as he was never a member of the Hosue of Commons, indeed he would have been disqualified from sitting as a cleric of the Church of England. I suspect House of Lords is meant. Could someone please check the reference? DuncanHill (talk) 01:15, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

The Guardian

"In 1848 he placed an appeal in The Guardian..." - should this be The Guardian (Anglican newspaper) rather than The Guardian (which was then the Manchester Guardian)? --rbrwr^± 13:00, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

1831 Guy Fawkes

His burning in effigy in November 1831 - why did this happen? Was this anything to do with opposition to the bill which became the Great Reform Act? At least I assume he opposed it, as the bishops incurred some public odium by doing so.Paulturtle (talk) 06:17, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

Another section further down confirms that he opposed the Great Reform Act, and also as I correctly recalled he had (unsurprisingly) opposed Catholic Emancipation before that.Paulturtle (talk) 06:19, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

He also kicked James Shore out of St John's Church, Bridgetown in 1841, something which led to the secession of the formation of the Free Church of England. I do not think this page gives a clear of balanced account Phillpotts life. Leutha (talk) 11:54, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
