Life
Life
Abbott was born and baptised in East Dereham, Norfolk, the son of John Abbott and Susannah Eastoe, who married in East Dereham on 13 November 1777. He worked for the Inland Revenue for many years, and was a warden of the Royal Free Grammar School in Darlington. His poems were described by William Hylton Dyer Longstaffe as "written with great simplicity of language, full of genuine patriotism and Christianity; some of them much resembling in style that of Wordsworth." Abbott died in Darlington in 1854.
