To be honest, I have never heard of him, but he was famous then , and is recorded by Dennis Williams (https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/henry-gough.50456/) as being buried at Edgbaston Old Church

Interesting that the above site says…

“His most famous book John Ingelsant, published in 1881 has been acclaimed as the greatest Anglo-Catholic novel in English Literature.”
