This month's had an article about Richard Arkwright (b1755), son of Sir Richard, of cotton-spinning fame. In 1787, so the article relates, he bought the site of Cressbrook Mill (after it had been destroyed by fire) and re-employed William Newton (the Minstrel of the Peak) to rebuild the Mill. Does anyone know of this William Newton, Minstrel of the Peak? |

I was going to ask if the Anna Seward who dubbed him the Minstrel was the author of Black Beauty, but I think she was Sewell. Do you know who AS was & why she dubbed him TMotP? |
