Wine auction edit

Not worthy of comment in the main article, but of possible interest to passing researchers, is an auction, by Christie, Manson & Woods, on 1st and 2nd December 1892, which included on the second day of the sale, “The Property of The Right Rev. The Lord Bishop of Hereford, Bishop Hampden, deceased”, lots 324 to 328 totalling almost 18 dozen of Port. (My picture #19685.) JDAWiseman (talk) 20:38, 17 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Not an MP edit

No claim to this effect is made in the major source (Enc Brit 1911) nor is any specific reference given, and in any case Renn Dickson Hampden was a clergyman of the Church of England and as such ineligible for election to the House of Commons. The article Great Marlow (UK Parliament constituency) contains the name "Renn Hampden" but link to a non-existent article Renn_Hampden_(died_1852). This seems to be a case of two individuals with the same names. I have therefore eliminated the paragraph. — Jpacobb (talk) 17:48, 17 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Footnote style edit

I suggest changing the style to {{sfn}} with links to bibliography since it handles multiple references from the same book far more neatly (eg[1]) — Jpacobb (talk) 23:24, 17 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
