" Christopher Anstey and ' The New Bath Guide.' " 



Article in The Beacon, July, 1908, by J. F. Meehan. This is a good 

 article describing the contents of " The New Bath Guide," and giving 

 the chief events in the author's life. Only son of Kev. Christopher 

 Anstey, D.D., of Brinldey, Cambs., he was educated at Bury St. Edmunds, 

 Eton, and King's Coll., Cambs. He married Ann, d. of FeHx Calvert, 

 of Albury Hall, Herts, and at No. 5, Eoj-al Crescent, Bath, is a tablet 

 which states " Here lived Christopher Anstey 1770—1805." This, how- 

 ever, is apparently not accurate. In 1805 he removed to the residence 

 of his son-in-law, Mr. Bosanquet, at Hardenhuish, and died there Aug. 

 3rd in that year, his only connection apparently with Wiltshire. He 

 was buried at Walcot, Bath, and has a monument in Poets' Corner in 

 Westminster Abbey.
