The Rev. Robert Blakeney was an Oxford graduate whose ministry was in the parish of South Elm in Somerset. Perhaps the meteorite was found in the rectory after his death, for it was the new rector’s younger brother, the Rev. John W. Griffith, who presented it to the University of Oxford in 1825.
This is supported by caption to Etheldred Benett's watercolour painting of the meteorite held by the Geological Society.
The caption reads:
Sketch of a Meteoric Stone which fell on the estate of the late Reverend Mr Blakeney near Patricks Well in the County of Limerick in September 1813, and which was presented to the University of Oxford by the Reverend John Griffiths of Bishopstrow, Wiltshire in May 1825 - weight 19 pounds. The streaked and dotted part is the fracture.
As I understand it Reverend Robert Blakeney was the son of William Blakeney, Esq., of Mount Blakeney who married Gertrude, daughter of Richard Smyth, Esq., of Ballynatray.
So, as well as being rector of St Mary Magdelene Church in Great Elm, in Somerset, Reverend Robert Blakeney owned extensive estates south of Limerick, Ireland, known as Mount Blakeney and Thomastown. Upon his death, and having no children of his own, his will was contested. The notice of his death is included here. The extent of the Mount Blakeney and Thomastown estates, will be detailed in the account of that dispute. The sale catalogue for the goods of Rev. Robert Blakeney, may also be of interest.
One day I hope to read those documents. Good luck to anyone that gets there first. If the estate includes Patrick's Well, let me know.
