VENN: adm. pens. aged 17 ST JOHN'S COLLEGE 1700; son of Peter, draper, born Salisbury; school Salisbury (Mr Hardwyk); matric. 1700; BA 1703/4; MA 1720; one of these names of Eye, Heref, cler., see Al Oxon for his son Richard.
The son's entry gives him as born in Eye; he became a diplomat (e.g. under secretary of state for various departments). There is no evidence that George Phelps was ever beneficed at Eye; in fact this is quite unlikely and it is more likely that he resided here at the time of his son's birth.
Fasti Herefordenses confirms his entries as vicar choral, etc. and custos from 1744 and says that a portrait of him is preserved in the common room of the College of the Vicars' Choral.
