"William Lamshaw 1712-1798, an innkeeper at Morpeth, and one of the Town Waits, became the Duchess's piper in 1775, was John Peacock's first teacher, and his family is remembered in the tune Lamshaw's Fancy."
These are some musicians found in the Morpeth parish register transcripts, plus the document noted for Shafto.
