DING 2014: “Antiquarian born in London and educated at Oxford. From 1792 to 1810 he was curate of Horsley, Glo. Then he moved to Walford, Her. where he remained until his death. He is best remembered for his Encyclopaedia of Antiquities. In Abstracts of Records and Manuscripts Respecting the County of Gloucester (1807) he includes a short section on Gloucester dialect and the ballad George Ridler’s Oven. The first extant edition of the ballad dates from 1771 and does not contain dialect. A later edition of 1796 is written in Gloucestershire dialect and is the one reproduced by Fosbrooke. Another version, published in 1890, can also be accessed in The Salamanca Corpus.”
