House of Commons?
In the "Character" section it says ".... a genuinely religious man with his religion concealed behind porcupine quills, he constantly quarrelled in the House of Commons, exposing opponents' follies with consummate ability, a tongue and eyes of flame, an ugly tough face and vehement speech. (Chadwick I, 1997, p 217)" - I find this unlikely as he was never a member of the Hosue of Commons, indeed he would have been disqualified from sitting as a cleric of the Church of England. I suspect House of Lords is meant. Could someone please check the reference? DuncanHill (talk) 01:15, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

The Guardian
"In 1848 he placed an appeal in The Guardian..." - should this be The Guardian (Anglican newspaper) rather than The Guardian (which was then the Manchester Guardian)? --rbrwr&plusmn; 13:00, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

1831 Guy Fawkes
His burning in effigy in November 1831 - why did this happen? Was this anything to do with opposition to the bill which became the Great Reform Act? At least I assume he opposed it, as the bishops incurred some public odium by doing so.Paulturtle (talk) 06:17, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

Another section further down confirms that he opposed the Great Reform Act, and also as I correctly recalled he had (unsurprisingly) opposed Catholic Emancipation before that.Paulturtle (talk) 06:19, 9 February 2019 (UTC)


 * He also kicked James Shore out of St John's Church, Bridgetown in 1841, something which led to the secession of the formation of the Free Church of England. I do not think this page gives a clear of balanced account Phillpotts life. Leutha (talk) 11:54, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
