Thomas Blore
Thomas Blore (1754-1818) was an English topographer.
==Life==
Blore was born at Ashbourne, Derbyshire, on 1 December 1764. He received his education at the grammar school there, and afterwards became a solicitor at Derby. He then moved to Hopton to take over the management of the affirs of Philip Gell.
On Gell's death in 1795 he went to London and entered the Middle Temple, though he was never called to the bar. Subsequently, during a residence at Benwick Hall, near Hertford, he made extensive collections relating to the topography and antiquities of Hertfordshire. These filled three folio volumes of closely written manuscript, which formed the nucleus of Robert Clutterbuck's history of the county. Afterwards Blore lived successively at Mansfield Woodhouse, at Burr House, near Bakewell, at Manton, in Rutland, and at Stamford. The latter borough he unsuccessfully contested in the whig interest, and he also edited for a brief period ''Drakard‘s Stamford News''. He died in London 10 November 1818, and was buried in Paddington Church, where a stone bearing the following inscription was erected: Sacred to the memory of Thomas Blore, Gentleman, of the honourable society of the Middle Temple and member of the Antiquarian Society, whose days were embittered and whose life was shortened by intense application. He died 10 November 1818, aged 63 years.
He was father of the architect Edward Blore.
