John Crosse (antiquary)

He was born at Kingston upon Hull on 7 July 1786, the son of John Norman Crosse, a business partner of Samuel Thornton.

He died at Hull on 20 October 1833, and was buried at St. James's Church, Sutton-on-Hull.

[2] In 1825, Crosse published An Account of the Grand Musical Festival, held in September, 1823, in the Cathedral Church of York.

A satirical reply, The York Musical Festival: A Dialogue, taking advantage of Crosse's bombastic style, was published by "Outis";[5] it has been attributed to the Reverend William Hett.
