He had taken it over after his father's death in 1839, and continued to run it until about 1864. Sibley died in 1870, and after that date there were no potter's in Ely. The pheon sign on the barrel was the badge of an eccentric poet and toper, Richard Ramsey Fielder, MA (1812-86) (Jesus College, Cambridge, BA 1848; MA 1851), who lived at the Lord Nelson inn, known as the 'Five Miles from Anywhere: No Hurry', and called himself 'The King of Upware. The pub was a favourite haunt of Cambridge undergraduates in the 1850s and 1860s. Fielder later moved to live at the Cutter Inn at Ely. In 1871 when Dr J.W.L. Glaisher graduated as 2nd Wrangler in the mathematical tripos, Fielder sent him two poems on a sheet entitled 'Cambridge Lyrics. By "His Majesty the King of Upware"' which he had had printed in 1864. At the bottom he drew his pheon sign in black ink, and on the back made a drawing and notes on Saturn's double rings. Glaisher kept this and after he purchased the barrel in 1903, kept the sheetin an envelope beside his catalogue entry for it. Fielder died at Folkestone in 1886 leaving a widow, Eliza Ann Fielder, who died in 1892. reference term-106851 adlib-term-106851 e155f998-1e0b-3f2a-851c-24f44d05dd59 19th Century, Mid reference term-120127 adlib-term-120127 ee2ddbd4-503c-30f5-8cf9-3c2d121bd315 Victoria I reference term-106571 adlib-term-106571 dd17216b-a55b-3f78-8a44-d97dedd93e68 literal England England country literal Cambridgeshire Cambridgeshire region Ely reddish-brown reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 16.5 reference media-49255 adlib-media-49255 2e50e209-7cdd-32a7-a1ac-accbf99dd81e jpeg aa/aa7/GL_C_47_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616247087718 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_GL_C_47_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616247087718 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/GL_C_47_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616247087718 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_GL_C_47_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616247087718 1 image 0 media image reference media-49256 adlib-media-49256 920dfed8-6dab-3e0c-b37f-05f0a4357fb9 jpeg aa/aa7/GL_C_47_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616266753321 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_GL_C_47_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616266753321 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/GL_C_47_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616266753321 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_GL_C_47_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616266753321 1 image 1 media image reference media-49257 adlib-media-49257 89e23d99-8891-3977-996d-c54174ec503e jpeg aa/aa7/GL_C_47_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616265102505 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_GL_C_47_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616265102505 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/GL_C_47_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616265102505 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_GL_C_47_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616265102505 1 image 2 media image reference media-49258 adlib-media-49258 7bb7f155-3209-326c-9437-e55400ed9fe5 jpeg aa/aa7/GL_C_47_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616262241806 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_GL_C_47_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616262241806 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/GL_C_47_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616262241806 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_GL_C_47_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616262241806 1 image 3 media image reference term-89511 adlib-term-89511 eccb0154-ed2a-3c27-af35-364f944b07a9 barrel (container) history note Richard Ramsey Fielder, MA (1812-86).; Mr King; John Jennings, antique dealer of 5 Camel Corner, Rous Road, Newmarket from whom purchased on 20 September 1903, for £2.17.6 by Dr J.W.L.
