About the author
Joseph Phillimore (1750–1831) was educated at Westminster School and later attended Christ Church, Oxford. Records from Westminster note that he was born on May 9, 1750, entered the school list in 1764, and left in 1768.
He went on to a clerical career in the Church of England. Westminster’s archive records that he was ordained deacon in 1777 and priest in 1778, and that he became vicar of Orton on the Hill in Leicestershire in 1804. The same source also notes his marriage to Mary Machin in 1775.
He was the father of Joseph Phillimore (1775–1855), the better-known lawyer and scholar. Reliable image sources checked during this search did not provide a clear portrait that could be confirmed as him, so no profile image is included.
