The Marsh-Blofeld coterie

A literary circle centred in Lammas, Calthorpe, Cromer, and Erpingham, in the county of Norfolk, where William Heath Marsh (fl. 1801-1848) was rector and landowner. Heath was a graduate of Corpus Christi College Cambridge, which may be the source of his connections with the Rev. James Willins, the Rev. Thomas Calthorpe Blofeld (1778-?) and his wife Mary Caroline Grose Blofeld (ca. 1763-?), and the Rev. Jern[ingham?] Ives. Much of Marsh’s poetry is addressed to Mary Blofeld; other coterie members address Marsh together with his wife Mary. In addition to the Willins, Blofeld, and Ives families, the coterie appears to include Diana Lathom, Miss Caroline Symmons, and Mrs. Morse of Sprowston Hall Norfolk.
