Comment
The Burnet Morris card index in the Devon Record Office in Exeter contains a reference to a thin octavo book of pencil sketches of “ecclesiological subjects” inscribed: “These sketches were taken by the late J. H. Merivale and presented to me by his son Herman M. Fred W. L. Stockdale.” Stockdale was an antiquary who began to research the history of Devon in 1840, writing to many eminent Devon residents seeking information. Possibly Merivale gave him the sketches in response to such a letter.
