  1. May I suggest Charles Henry Wilton, who wrote string trios recorded by Jean Pougnet, Frederick Riddle and Anthony Pini? No.1 in A Major is the most attractive and was broadcast from a gramophone record on the Third Programme at 7.55pm on May 27, 1966. I don’t think it has had an airing since.

    Keep up the good work

  2. May I suggest the following?:

    James Hook
    John Marsh
    The Earl of Kelly (Thomas Erskine). Yes I know, he was a Scot, but…
    The Roseingraves of Dublin (but of English origin), in particular Thomas, who was born in Winchester
    John Collett
    Thomas Chilcot of Bath
    William Smethergell
    Why not Handel, who spent most of his working life in London?
    And if Handel, then why not Carl Abel, who came to London in his 30s and never left?

  3. PS:
    John Blow & Jeremiah Clarke, born in the 17th and just made it into the 18th century, like Daniel Purcell.
    Johann Pepusch, another born in Germany who spent most of his working life in London,
    and of course Stephen Storace
