Barak Longmate

He died on 23 July 1793 in Noel Street, Soho, and was buried on the 27th of that month in St Marylebone Parish Church's churchyard.

His small but valuable library, and a large collection of heraldic manuscripts, were auctioned off at Sotheby's on 10 March 1794, realising just over £235—considered not a great sum.

He was a good draughtsman, and well skilled in heraldry, and was of much assistance to John Nichols and other antiquarians in their topographical labours.

[1] About 1801 he made notes respecting the churches in many Gloucestershire parishes, with the view of publishing a continuation of Ralph Bigland's History of that county.

[3] Owing, however, to the fire at Nichols' printing-office in 1808, the work was abandoned, and the manuscript was deposited, instead, among the collections of Sir Thomas Phillipps at Middle Hill, Broadway, Worcestershire.
