Benjamin Carpenter was (along with William Blake the poet and his wife Catherine and Dorothy Gott) one of the additional signatories to the Swedenborgian conference 1789 (not in the printed list of 7.12.1788) and like the Blakes and Gott he appeared in no other Swedenborgian records. He was  quite likely  the Unitarian minister Benjamin Carpenter, born April 1752 near Bromsgrove, son of Philip Carpenter and Ann Lant who were married at Coventry 30.12.1740 and who baptised 11 children at the Indeprndent chapel in Bromsgrove. He was admitted to Daventry Academy 1768, married 24.6.…

Thomas Carter one of the additional signatories of the 1789 Swedenborgian conference (not in the printed list of 7.12.1788) who, like the poet William Blake and his wife and Dorothy Gott, appeared in no other Swedenborgian records. Really too common a name for me to make any intelligent guess to his identity

The north side of Castle Street East between Newman Street and Wells Street. The street was also known as Little Castle Street. (Great Castle Street aka Castle Street West was its continuation on the western side of Oxford Market, and had a separate set of numbers which can cause some confusion). "Castle Street, Oxford Street" or "Castle Street, Oxford Market" could mean either section. "Castle Street, Newman Street" was clearly Castle Street East. All in St Marylebone parish

Numbers 4, 8, 10,12 and 14 (and 11 Berners Street next door to number 10) all featured in Harris's Lists of…
