"To great antiquarian and architectural knowledge Kerrich united the most accurate skill as a painter and draughtsman. He was also a miniature-painter and a practised etcher....Mr Kerrich never courted popularity. I have heard him, after his appointment as University Librarian, repeatedly declare that he always considered himself one of the most unpopular men in the University.
