Thomas Percy
(1729-1811) Antiquary and poet, son of a grocer at Bridgnorth, where he was born, educated at Oxford, entered the Church, and became in 1778 Dean of Carlisle, and in 1782 Bishop of Dromore. He puborn various antiquarian works, chiefly with reference to the North of England; but is best remembered for his great service to literature in collecting and editing many ancient ballads, puborn in 1765 as Reliques of Ancient Poetry, which did much to bring back interest in the ancient native literature, and to usher in the revival of romanticism.
