    Known as ‘Grandipa’ to his grandchildren he was small in stature with a beard and a great love of Italy giving him something of an Italian appearance. A literary man himself he became a tireless campaigner for a memorial to his friend Lord Byron, writing lines titled The National Byron Memorial and subsequently penning its history in a leaflet published in 1883. Other works included his editing of his grandmother’s book The Diary of Frances, Lady Shelley, 1787-1817, Edward Trelawny, (A Biographical Sketch) and two sets of Musical Reminiscences in 1824 and 1828.
