Interestingly, I found a charming and near immaculate 1st edition copy of My Devon Year for less than 5GBP in a local bookshop. Much better than some nasty modern reprint! sjc

Spelling of his name

[edit]

I see both "Phillpotts" and "Philpotts" in use, and I think it is noteworthy that his own booklabel uses one "l." Haiduc 02:58, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Family

[edit]

Is it worth mentioning that he was a grandson of the bishop of Exeter, Henry Phillpotts? Hors-la-loi 21:21, 18 September 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hors-la-loi (talkcontribs)

Possibly, if it's true - we'd need a reliable source for it (it's not mentioned in ODNB, for instance).  —SMALLJIM  09:18, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I was misinformed. Apparently the bishop was his great-uncle, which is not such a significant link. Hors-la-loi 17:24, 6 October 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hors-la-loi (talkcontribs)
