==Life==
William Lipscomb was born into a medical family. His father Thomas and his uncle James were surgeons, as was his cousin, the antiquary George Lipscomb. He was schooled at Winchester College and then entered Corpus Christi College, Oxford, in 1770. While there, he won the prize for English verse in 1772 with a poem "On the Beneficial Effects of Inoculation", which was often reprinted thereafter, in individual editions and in collections. Samuel Taylor Coleridge was later to misquote it unfairly as an example of bad poetic convention in his ''Biographia Literaria''.〔See P.L.Carver’s note in the ''Review of English Studies'' (1933) (p.71 )〕
Lipscomb graduated B.A. in 1774 and M.A. in 1784. For some years he was private tutor and subsequently chaplain to Henry Vane, the future Earl of Darlington, at Raby Castle. In 1789 he was presented to the rectory of Welbury in the North Riding of Yorkshire and was also Master of St. John's Hospital, Barnard Castle. By his marriage in 1780 with Margaret, second daughter of Francis Cooke, cashier of the navy, he had a large family of whom ten children survived him. His eldest son, Christopher Lipscomb, was appointed the first bishop of Jamaica and he was allowed to hand over his rector’s position at Welbury to his son Francis in 1832. 〔Biographical sources include (''The Dictionary of National Biography'' ) and the contemporary obituary in ''The Gentleman’s Magazine'', Volume 18 New Series, 1842, (p.101 )〕
