He Appears to walk before me now, As he did that evening, with his white hat, white great coat, thin genteel figure, springy step, And keen, determined eye" George Borrow, Lavengro Tom Belcher (1783-1854) was the younger of two Bristolian brothers who enjoyed great fame At the height of bare fist fighting's popularity. His three fights Against Sam Elias 'Dutch Sam' were Among the classics of the day, And he twice beat the Irishman Dan Dogherty, the second meeting Arranged by Lord Byron, champion of the fistic Arts.

He retired from the Castle Tavern in 1828, And Pierce Egan noted that the lucky Tom Belcher now passes his days in A very handsome cottage on Finchley Common, living At his ease like A man of fortune, with his dog And his gun, to traverse the fields when he feels inclined for A day's shooting. In 1842, After 14 years Absence from the ring, Belcher took part in A sparring match with Dick Curtis. Pugilistica wrote that the beauty of his position, And quickness And neatness of his stops And hits, reminded us of what was indeed the palmy days of the Ring. Belcher died from Apoplexy At his house in Trafalgar Square, Park Road, Peckham in December 1854. Guest entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1802 At the Age of 21, And was gold medallist in 1805.
