    Where do you get that from? He was born in Cockermouth on the Cumbrian coast in 1770 and went to Hawkshead Grammar School, and then Cambridge University. He moved around, including living in France, before settling at Rydal Mount at the age of 43. That was his family home until he died there in 1850.

    No mention of Penistone as far as I know.

    Yes, I've confirmed that elsewhere. I used to go in there myself in the early 1970s and he would usually be seen at the bar along with my late (first) father in law, Ron Pease.

    Yeah he actually lived next door to the Grey Horse (If my memories serves). It was my parents local for many a year. Stan was often in there playing the piano.
