There is the 1904 book by Austin Brereton, The Lyceum and Henry Irving. There is also a historical fiction book about Stoker’s time at the Lyceum called Shadowplay which. is also worth a read. Many thanks, Jack

He wrote the Lyrics to Hot Coddlin’s and as manager of Saddler’s Wells, he, (and his younger brother Thomas John Dibdin) hired Joseph Grimaldi. Charles Dibdin the younger is actually buried at this cemetery. Thank you for the wonderful history blog!

I do wish though that you’d expanded on “Tate built a fortune on the back of his sugar business” to mention the enslaved people who made that fortune for him!
