1796 - 12 Great George Street, Westminster, London
1817 - 36 St. Jame's Parade, Bath

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

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.

FRIPP SAMUEL CHARLESFripp, Samuel Charles, d. 1882 Biographical File available on request from the Enquiry Desk
1881 - Scholar at Avondale School, Clifton, Gloucester.
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.

Samuel is the earliest member of the Bristol branch of Fripps that we have any documented records lifestyle. Records of the Moravian church, in Bristol, show he was probably the wealthiest and most influential member of the congregation. He had a tallow chandler business (candle maker) and had several connections with the Quaker members of the Fry family in Bristol. The business was carried on by his descendants and is mentioned in the PIGOTS DIRECTORY for BRISTOL 1830 as FRIPP & Co. Soap & Candle Maker 47 Castle Street, Bristol. A photograph of a mirror advertising FRIPPS soap has been supplied by Linda Gorski and can be viewed here.
The Moravian church, also known as the Unity of the Brethren, was established in England 1738 and was recognised by an act of Parliament as "an ancient Episcopal Church." It is interesting to note that the early Fripp settlers in South Carolina donated large amounts of money to the Episcopal Church. The congregation at Bristol settled on the Avon River 26 January 1755. Further details of the Moravian church can be found here.
There are references to Samuel and his son, "Little Sammy", in diary entries by a labourer at the Moravian church in 1766 & 67. They were found by Val Peacock and can be read here.
