Dealer Notes

Robert Millhouse (1788-1839) born in Nottingham.
His only education was at a Sunday school and from the age of 10 he worked at a stocking-loom and sang in the choir of St. Peter’s church.
Contemporaneously compared to Robert Bloomfield and John Clare.
His life was affected by his serial marriages, ill-health and poverty.
