Capt. Nicholas Pocock

Abodes: 1780's - 41 Prince’s Street, Bristol. (then at the southwest corner of Assembly Rooms Lane). 1789 - London
1796 - 12 Great George Street, Westminster, London
1817 - 36 St. Jame's Parade, Bath
1821 - Died at Maidenhead, Berks. at 80 years

Started 7 year apprenticeship with parents, as a seaman, on 22 March 1757. By 18 October 1766 Nicholas was Captain of the ship "Lloyd" which made several trips to Charleston, South Carolina, and surrounding areas. Could this be a link to Captain Fripp who was said to be given nearby Fripp Island by King Charles ii in 1680?

He wrote six journals of his voyages which he left to his grandsons George and Alfred Fripp. (see below for later details)

In 1782 he exhibited "A view of Redcliffe Church from the Sea Banks". He continued exhibiting at the Royal Academy and British Institution until 1815 featuring many scenes from South Carolina and the West Indies. He eventually exhibited over 600 paintings.

In 1804 he helped form the Royal Watercolour Society.

A portrait of him was exhibited at R.A. by his son Isaac in 1811 and a caricature of him is in A.E. Chalon's drawing of "Artists in the British Institution" (portfolio Nov.1884, p.219)

His will is PRO 11/1606/333

THE JOURNALS OF THE SHIP LLOYD, NICHOLAS POCOCK, MASTER, 1767-1772. East Ardsley, Yorkshire, Eng.: Micro Methods; n.d. 1 microfilm reel. (British records relating to America in microfilm).
Note: Notes at the beginning of the reel provide background information on Nicholas Pocock, Richard Champion (the ship's owner), the ship Lloyd, and the journals.
The journals provide information on the day-to-day operation of a Bristol merchant ship engaged in the colonial trade. The journals record several voyages from Bristol to Charleston, South Carolina, and back from 1767 through 1769. They also record round-trip voyages to Dominica during 1771-72. This information includes muster rolls, weather, and other sailing information. Each page is also illustrated with drawings of the Lloyd by Captain Pocock.

Samuel Charles Fripp

Wills and Admon Index: 24 August 1882 (effects under £745)
Will of Samuel Charles Fripp late of Clifton, Bristol; Architect, died 9 Feb 1882 at Avondale House, Clifton Down, Clifton. Proved at Bristol by Josiah Thomas of Bristol, surveyor, and Herbert Innes Fripp of 37 Great James Street, Bedford Row, Middlesex; gentleman, the son and sole executor.

Death details: Courtesy Gerry Nichols
Died: 9 Feb 1882, at Clifton CC 15/2 Avondale House, Clifton Down, Gloucestershire, aged 69
Buried: 15 Feb 1882, at Redland Parish Church, Redland Green, Bristol, Gloucestershire
Grave: M38 - 08C05 (with 2nd wife, Clara, and daughter, Edith)

Gerry Nichols found S.C. Fripp among a list of engineers working with Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1853. A biography of Brunel, titled "The Man Who Built the World" by Steven Brindle, mentions an employee named Fripp. Brunel often treated his subcontractors in a brutal manner. He once snarled at Fripp "You are a cursed, lazy, inattentive, apathetic vagabond and if you continue to neglect my instructions I shall send you about your business. Pray keep out of my way or I will certainly do you a mischief." It is not yet confirmed that this was Samuel, but is most likely.

Samuel Charles Fripp designed St. Peter's Church in Bedminster, Bristol, Which was built 1841-43. He also designed offices for the Bristol & Exeter Railway, (completed in 1852) and The Grosvenor Hotel (1875) near Temple Circus, Bristol.

George Arthur Fripp

See feature page here.



A leading watercolorist of the Bristol School, George was the grandson of another noted Bristol artist, Nicholas Pocock (1740-1821). Fripp began his career as a portrait painter, but by 1837, was exhibiting in London with the Society of Painters in Watercolors. He was elected an Associate of the society in 1841 and a full member four years later. Considered by his contemporaries as one of the most promising landscape watercolorists to emerge in the 1840s, Fripp painted a range of subjects from river scenery to rustic subjects to foreign views to views in Wales and the north of England. In 1874 the art critic for The Spectator wrote of him: "We have no greater landscape painter . . .possessed of many of the traditions of the best school of landscape that the world has seen . . . . Breadth, in the artistic sense, is one great characteristic of Mr. Fripp's painting . . ."


During the 1850s and 1860s Fripp began painting mountainous regions of North Wales and Scotland. He exhibited a number of views of Nant Ffrancon at the Watercolor Society in the early 1860s, where he was praised for "resolute suppression of immaterial facts and details -- suppression, not excision -- so that the spectator feels the presence of each variety of rock and heather.but is not by unrestrained expression of them distracted from the main idea and design of the picture. [The Spectator, 7 May 1864] Fripp's work may be seen in major public and private collections in Britain, America, and elsewhere.


Taught to paint by J.B. Pyne and S. Jackson, Fripp started his career as a portrait painter In Bristol, He produced landscapes following a visit to Italy 1834 and exhibited with the Old Society of Painters in Watercolour In 1837. Queen Victoria admired his work, and In 1864 he stayed at Balmoral to produce a series of local views tor the Queen.
