Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

References[edit]

If the lines which have ^{[citation needed]} are verified by the books listed in the Reference sections, I'd suggest replacing the cite requests with <ref>Burns, Arthur. Henry Phillpotts, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' p.161.</ref> replacing the author, source and page numbers as relevant. No alteration to the Reference section need be done.--Alf ^melmac 15:13, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Am working on checking the citations; meanwhile have tried to insert image , just after first para, but don´t seem to have quite captured the technique..can you advise/adjust ? Kbservices 13:15, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Crown living[edit]

Some livings are in the gift of the Crown. See Patronage – Agendum (talk) 15:10, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Death[edit]

The date of death is listed as 1788, yet that appears to be the year of his birth Metricmike (talk) 14:57, 1 December 2010 (UTC).[reply]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Henry Phillpotts/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Article lacks proper referencing, persondata, pictures and infobox. A bit of work and this could turn B class. -Duribald 12:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

House of Commons?[edit]

In the "Character" section it says ".... a genuinely religious man with his religion concealed behind porcupine quills, he constantly quarrelled in the House of Commons, exposing opponents' follies with consummate ability, a tongue and eyes of flame, an ugly tough face and vehement speech. (Chadwick I, 1997, p 217)" - I find this unlikely as he was never a member of the Hosue of Commons, indeed he would have been disqualified from sitting as a cleric of the Church of England. I suspect House of Lords is meant. Could someone please check the reference? DuncanHill (talk) 01:15, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Guardian[edit]

"In 1848 he placed an appeal in The Guardian..." - should this be The Guardian (Anglican newspaper) rather than The Guardian (which was then the Manchester Guardian)? --rbrwr ^± 13:00, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

1831 Guy Fawkes[edit]

His burning in effigy in November 1831 - why did this happen? Was this anything to do with opposition to the bill which became the Great Reform Act? At least I assume he opposed it, as the bishops incurred some public odium by doing so.Paulturtle (talk) 06:17, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Another section further down confirms that he opposed the Great Reform Act, and also as I correctly recalled he had (unsurprisingly) opposed Catholic Emancipation before that.Paulturtle (talk) 06:19, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

He also kicked James Shore out of St John's Church, Bridgetown in 1841, something which led to the secession of the formation of the Free Church of England. I do not think this page gives a clear of balanced account Phillpotts life. Leutha (talk) 11:54, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
