Charles Benjamin Incledon

Charles Benjamin Incledon

Charles Benjamin Incledon (1763–February 11 1826, Worcester) was an Cornish singer, son of a doctor in St Keverne, Cornwall, and began as a choirboy at Exeter but then went into the navy. His fine tenor voice, however, attracted general attention, and in 1783 he determined to seek his fortune on the stage. After various provincial appearances he made a great success in 1790 at Covent Garden, and thenceforth was the principal English tenor of his day. He sang both in opera and in oratorio, but his chief popularity lay in his delivery of ballads, such as "Sally in our Alley", "Blackeyed Susan", "The Arethusa", and anything of a bold and manly type. He toured in America in 1817; and on retiring in 1822 from the operatic stage, he travelled through the provinces with an entertainment called "The Wandering Melodist".
