George Cambridge (priest)

Nothing came in the way of romance, though Sir William Weller Pepys, a friend of Burney, tried to throw the couple together.

[9] He became a good friend of Joshua Watson, a figure of the Hackney Phalanx group of High Church men.

[12][13] In 1814, when Watson, John Bowdler and James Alan Park saw the need for an urgent church building programme, they called on Cambridge and Charles Daubeny for action.

[3] He was involved also in King's College London and the National Society for Promoting Religious Education.

[18] He presented a copy of a painting by Paolo Veronese, the Martyrdom of St George, to the Fitzwilliam Museum in 1835.
