He served six years in the Navy, during which time his religious obsession was noted by shipmates. Returning to County Durham he married and became a Wesleyan preacher in 1814, denouncing the Church of England. He was placed in a lunatic asylum after threatening to shoot the Bishop of Oxford, but managed to escape in June 1820. The following year his first wife died and he escaped a second time from the asylum. Marrying again in 1828, he moved to York. Here he suffered a further breakdown and, whilst attending evensong at the Minster on 1st February 1829, he became so upset by a buzzing sound from the organ that he set fire to the bell tower following the service. In his ensuing trial at York Castle, before Baron Hullock he was defended by Henry Brougham. Declared guilty on the grounds of insanity he was detained at Bethlem Royal Hospital in South London, where he died on 3rd June 1838 - three months prior to his son committing suicide. Cf.
