Thomas Collins of [[wikipedia:Nuneaton|Nuneaton]] is known for one publication, ''A Collection of Anthems & Psalms'', which is undated, but which the catalogue of the British Library dates to around 1790. Simplified versions of one of the tunes from this book (a setting of ''O what a happy thing it is'') were also published with different texts in 1789 under the title 'Broomsgrove' in Thomas Williams' ''Psalmodia Evangelica'' and under the title 'Uffington' in [[William Dixon]]'s ''Psalmodia Christiana'': neither Williams nor Dixon attributed the tune to Collins, and it was widely republished thereafter, often titled 'Broomsgrove' and without attribution.
