I clearly owe Henry Aldrich an apology for having got his Christian name wrong in a post yesterday (since corrected). I mentioned his name in the post on Edward Harley only because I have always had the impression that he had quite an influence on undergraduates, particularly aristocratic ones, at Christ Church during his time as Dean, with his pipe smoking, deep interest in architecture, weekly musical gatherings, and high toryism. But I realise that Aldrich died in 1710 and Harley only matriculated in 1707, so they would not have overlapped for long.
