London, August 5. On Thursday, the 25th ult. died, aged
about ninety, Mr. Thomas Bird, of the Parish of Claines,
near the city of Worcester, who was formerly a rope maker,
but having acquired a handsome fortune, left off business,
and lived a recluse: It is remarkable that he died in the
same room where he was born, and never lay out of it but two
nights in his whole life, neither had he been known to be at
any place of worship for these forty years past, except at
such times as the bells wanted new roping. . . [15 lines]
