This thing about Gaughan saying that Briggs wrote it is annoyingly tenacious. I would be prone to say that someone misheard, but I doubt it is possible for so many people to mishear so often in so many places! So why is he saying this? Please - that is a question I don't want answers to - it's taken up enough of this thread already! He's usually so precise about attributing sources. Oh well. Thanks for all your help, folks. No one has managed to answer my initial question. Now where DID I read that Revd. someoneorother possibly wrote these words in the 19th century?!
