A favourite memorial from @exetercathedral.bsky.social. Born Nutcombe Quicke in 1727 he attended Cambridge University & in 1753 married Anne, daughter of the Bishop of Exeter. He became Canon Chancellor of the Cathedral & in 1792 changed his name to Nutcombe Nutcombe to receive an inheritance.

The surprisingly extensive fan base of Nutcombe Nutcombe gains another disciple
This time last year we visited @exetercathedral.bsky.social. Found this memorial plaque. So good they named him twice!

It ought to be a skipping rhyme.

Nutcombe, Nutcombe, Nutcombe Quick,
Give back the money or the name will stick.

I cannot stand these prissy little public letters British politicians send each other.

Dear Prime Minister

I cannot in good conscience continue to serve in your useless cabinet, because I am also useless.

I will of course continue to represent the people of Nutcombe Hogwash despite being useless.

I suppose that if your first name is Nutcombe, you’ve already learned to live with a terrible name.

#MonumentsMonday I remember visiting Exeter cathedral and a friend pointing out The Reverend Nutcombe Nutcombe's memorial to me.

As delightful on my recent visit as it was several years ago! @chartresfi.bsky.social @thehistorymouse.bsky.social

My favourite ever is at Exeter Cathedral.

Yes, Nutcombe Nutcombe is obviously amusing, but I also know that English cathedral choirs are one of the most comprehensive repositories of puerile schoolboy humour known to mankind, and there is no possibility in earth or heaven that a name like Nutcombe Quicke passed without comment.

I had a look and it turns out he did it for the money (and needed an act of parliament to achieve it). www.exeter-cathedral.org.uk/news-events/...

Checked out the tallest tree in England today, a Douglas Fir, at Nutcombe Bottom in Somerset.

Had the feeling I was being watched.

Yes, it's brilliant. Sophie's explanation over at The Bad Place is, afaik, correct: x.com/SMCoulombeau...
