(note; Charles Farish was a friend of William Wordsworth. In his book "Poetical Works vol. 1" a footnote to "Guilt and Sorrow; or, Incidents upon Salisbury Plain" states that some of its lines were taken ""From a short MS. poem read to me when an under-graduate, by my schoolfellow and friend Charles Farish, long since deceased. The verses were by a brother of his, a man of promising genius, who died young.""—"W. W. 1842" in a statement by the editor of the volume the footnote goes on to say that: ""Charles Farish was the author of The Minstrels of Winandermere"" as a result there is some debate as to authorship of the song commemorating Richard Gilpin's achievements).
