From Wiki: William Dickinson (1756–1822) was an English topographer and legal writer. Born in 1756 and baptised William Dickinson Rastall, Dickinson was the only son of Dr. William Rastall, vicar-general of the church of Southwell. He became a fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1777, M.A. in 1780. On leaving the university he devoted himself to the study of the law. In 1795, at the request of Mrs. Henrietta Dickinson of Eastward Hoo, he assumed the name of Dickinson only. His residence was at Muskham Grange, near Newark, and he was a justice of the peace for the counties of Nottingham, Lincoln, Middlesex, Surrey, and Sussex. He died in Cumberland Place, New Road, London, on 9 October 1822.
