3 unusual facts about Caleb Fleming


Caleb Fleming

His most severe, and perhaps his best remembered, publication is his ‘character’ of Thomas Bradbury, ‘taken from his own pen.’

His father was a hosier; his mother, whose maiden name was Buxton, was a daughter of the lord of the manor of Chelmerton, Derbyshire.

Thomas Bradbury

His last publication seems to have been Joy in Heaven and Justice on Earth, 1747, (two sermons), unless his discourses on baptism, from which Caleb Fleming drew The Character of the Rev. Tho. Bradbury, taken from his own pen, 1749, are later.
