Bishop

Submitted by edpope on

2.1.1790 hear Bishop at Holcroft's / 7.7.1791 again. Given Holcroft's many musical guests and the phrase 'hear Bishop' this may have been Henry Bishop, dancing master and violinist (see below) rather than listening to a bishop's sermon as suggested by the event tag (although Godwin earlier noted 'see bishop Newton' and 'hear bishop Horsley' both times he used a small b). Aickin the actor and Otley who was often at Holcroft's musical gatherings were perhaps less likely to go hear a sermon - and the second 'hear Bishop' was with Clementi, Shield & Bossy, all musicians.
