Sinopsis
Excerpt from Rambles Roundabout: And Poems
In the tower hangs a wooden tablet, recording an exploit of some of the forefathers of the village, when Blisworth seems to have cultivated bell-ringing To the memory of the following ringers, John Gudgeon, Wm. Peach, Benjamin Geode, Thomas Carter, and Thomas Garner, Who on ye 31st December, 1790, Did Ring scores in 3 hours and 40 minutes, which amounts to changes. Written by R. Dunckly, clerk, May 12, Taking this inscription in its literal sense, one would be led to understand that those gentlemen all died of their exertions between December and May. We h0pe that was not so, and that the tablet was put up in memory of the exploit, not of the actors in it. On the north side of the chancel there is a confessional window; and in the church yard, which is ascended from the road by a flight of steps, are the steps of a cross now carrying a sun-dial.

Excerpt from Rambles Roundabout: And Poems
If, according to the old proverb, those nations are the happiest which have no history, I think it may be stated with ven greater truth that those lives are happiest whose records are least full of incidents. Each man seeks his own happiness after his own fashion. But to me, from such observation as I have made, it does not seem that to have been an actor in great events; to have experienced many vicissitudes of fortune; to have known many men and many cities, adds much to the sum of human happiness. Be this as it may, there were few lives more devoid of incident; more uneventful; more even in the tenor of their way, than that of the author of these "Rambles Roundabout." Yet, looking back upon long years of intimate acquaintance and constant intercourse, I may say that I have never known any one to whom the epithet "Happy" might be more truly given. Such, I deem, must have been the impression left on the minds of all who knew him; and this record, brief and meagre as it necessarily is, would yet be wanting in its first duty, should it fail to convey - if the metaphor may be pardoned me - a certain reflection of the sunniness of a life so barren of events, so placid in its outward course.
George James De Wilde was born in London in the year 1804. His family were of Dutch origin, his grandfather having emigrated from Holland during the troubles in the close of the last century. His father was a painter of considerable reputation ju his own line.
