Notes
The Phippses were near neighbours of the Moores in Bromham. Thomas Moore was friendly with the two brothers, William (d. 1 December 1846) and Richard Hughes and their families. William was associated with the Devizes bank of Hughes, Locke and Co., of which the senior partner was Wadham Locke. It is likely, therefore, that William was present on this occasion. Moore's reference to 'the Gossets' is almost certainly a mis-spelling of 'the Grosetts', who are mentioned on a number of occasions within his diary.
