Conclusions
It can be said that John Clayton was invaluable to Richard Grainger in two ways. Firstly, he ensured that Grainger’s scheme for Newcastle would be accepted by the council. Secondly, when Grainger was in extreme danger of being made bankrupt, Clayton was successful in allaying the fears of his creditors and persuading them to be patient. This meant that Grainger died with his good name intact.

People talk of situations,
Read books, repeat quotations,
Draw conclusions on the wall.”
