Some Famous People called Orlando Whistlecraft
Orlando Whistlecraft
Orlando Whistlecraft (11 November 1810 – 3 March 1893) was an early English meteorologist who was born and died in the village of Thwaite, Suffolk in the East of England.
He was the son of James Whistlecraft, a farmer, and Susan Brooke. He attended school first in Stowmarket then aged 10 at Robert Burcham Clamp’s school in St Nicholas Street, Ipswich. Whistlecraft returned to Thwaite in 1829 to run a school. In 1843 he turned to shopkeeping in order to devote more time to his passion of meteorology.
He was most notable for Whistlecraft's Weather Almanac published annually from 1856 to 1884 and for The Climate of England (1840) and Rural Gleanings (1851). The National Meteorological Archive in Exeter contains his weather diaries for Thwaite from 1827 to 1892.
He is referenced in "Rats" by M R James "so well was his work progressing, and so fine was the April of that year which I have reason to believe was that which Orlando Whistlecraft chronicles in his weather record as the "Charming Year".
