Peter Orlando Hutchinson
Peter Orlando Hutchinson (1810-1897) was an English Victorian diarist and artist.〔(Hutchinson's Sketchbooks )〕 He was born in Winchester, but spent all his adult life in Sidmouth, Devon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= In the Footsteps of Peter Orlando Hutchinson )〕
Hutchinson was a polymath whose interests ranged from politics to the preservation of telephone poles. He was also an amateur musician (flute and French horn) as a well as a stonecarver. His major achievement, however, was a series of diaries and sketchbooks, containing observations on the geology, archaeology, botany and other items of interest relating to East Devon.〔(Hutchinson's Diaries: Transcripts )〕
In his capacity as a stonecarver, he helped to save and restore the Old Chancel in Sidmouth. He was on the Committee for the restoration of the parish church in 1860, but felt that not enough of the original building was being preserved, so he bought and re-erected the chancel in his own garden, later attaching it to his house.〔(English Heritage: The Old Chancel, List entry #1289171 )〕
He was also a great-grandson of Massachusetts governor Thomas Hutchinson of Boston Tea Party fame. In 1837-38 he visited the United States and Canada, where he made over a hundred sketches. In 1880, he helped organize and publish his great-grandfather's papers.〔(Hemyock Castle website )〕
