Over the following four years he distinguished himself on the north coast of Spain, providing valuable assistance to Wellington at San Sebastian. He was twice mentioned in dispatches in 1812 and 13. He was promoted to Captain in September 1813, no doubt a cause for celebration in his home town and the presentation of the sword by the Corporation the following month. A portrait miniature of Bloye is in the Royal Museums Greenwich (ref MNT0068).Despite its worn blade this magnificent naval testimonal sabre by the leading London sword cutlers Green, Ward & Green is of the same type and quality as the famous Lloyd's Patriotic Fund presentation swords. The six chased silver gilt medallions on the scabbard comprise1) the arms of King's Lynn with a banner above dated 1813 2) Neptune in his chariot 3 & 6) Hercules slaying the Lernaean Hydra 4) a pelican in its piety and 5) a trophy of arms.

George Romney (1734-1802), Portrait of the Reverend Robert Potter, oil on canvas, 76cm x 63.5cm, inscribed to labels verso Provenance: Included in a National Portrait Exhibition of 1868, labelled accordingly. Lent by Miss Conway Griffith. The frame has an Aldrood Frame and Gilder's label verso. Note: The Reverend Robert Potter (1721-1804) was a Church of England clergyman, translator and poet. Born in Somerset, he was ordained after graduating from Emmanuel College, Cambridge and then served in various parishes including Lowestoft and Kessingland in Suffolk, also becoming prebendary of Norwich Cathedral, a position gifted to him by Lord Edward Thurlow. Rising from fairly lowly means, he was brought to the attention of literary society as a result of being the first scholar to translate the works of Aeschylus. At the height of his influence he counted amongst his patrons Elizabeth Montagu, the rich and influential leader of society in London. He sat for Romney in the summer of 1778, during a brief trip to London. In a letter to William Doughty he wrote ''the days were spent chiefly in rambling from painter to painter, which to me is the highest of all entertainments............The excellent Romney gave me my head, as a picture a wonderfull (sic) fine one.'' It is possible that Romney presented this portrait as a gift as Potter knew that Romney wished to paint a scene from Euripide's Alcestis and had provided him with a transcript of his translation to help him
