The father recorded many local traditions which he accepted as true including those concocted for his benefit according to Sidney Lee by John Jordan a Stratford poet who was his chief guide throughout his visit. ------------ In his pursuit of information about Shakespeare Ireland learned from some of the oldest inhabitants that manuscripts had been moved from Shakespeare's residence at New Place to Clopton House at the time of the Stratford fire. To Clopton House he went where he learned from the tenant that the manuscripts he was seeking had been destroyed only a week before. His disappointment was extreme. 'My God! Sir you are not aware of the loss which the world has sustained. Would to heaven I had arrived sooner!' ------Today he is best remembered today as the chief victim of the Ireland Shakespeare forgeries created by his son William Henry Ireland. But alas that is a tale for another day. ----------- Ref English Short Title Catalog t79991; Abbey Scenery 427. Cox III182.

Atherton was born 1598 in Somerset and attended Oxford. He was appointed in 1630 as Lord Bishop of Waterford and Lismore. In 1640 he was accused of engaging in "buggery" with his steward John Childe and the two were hanged in December of 1640. According to Rictor Norton's "Homosexuality in Eighteenth-Century England: A Sourcebook" they were the second such pair to have been hanged as a couple in England. This work while not dealing directly with the accusations or the trial is a contemporary account of the bishop's final days. It includes Atherton's letter to his wife and a sermon preached at his burial. In 1710 the author Bernard published another book in which he exposed several legal proceedings and conflicts between Atherton and Catholic lawyers which may have led to a conspiracy to remove him.
