THE Kingsley Memorial Fund, set on foot in February, 1875, resulted at Eversley in the enlargement of the Church, and in the carrying out of a plan of their late Rector for turning the old vestry in the tower into a baptistery, opening out the roof, and substituting open benches for the remaining pews. The Committee included the following names : The Duke of Westminster. Lord Calthorpe. Rt. Hon. W. Cowper Temple. Sir William Cope. Mr. Beresford Hope, M.P. Mr. Raikes Currie. Rev. R. C. Powles. Rev. Elis Price. Mr. Martineau. Mr. Wyeth. On a Brass Plate in the Baptistery these words are inscribed : IN PIAM MEMORIAM CAROLI KINGSLEY S. PETRI WESTMONASTERIENSIS CANONICI HVIVSCE ECCLESIÆ PER XXXI ANNOS RECTORIS DILECTISSIMI HANC EDEM SACROSANCTAM QVAM DOCTRINA ILLVSTRAVIT SVA PAROCHIANI ET AMICI DESIDERANTES At Chester, a Committee with which the Wrexham Society of Natural Science joined, was formed, and it was decided that a Marble Bust should be placed in the Chapter House; a Medal struck for successful students in the Natural Science Society; and the ladies of Chester undertook to restore one of the Cathedral Stalls in memory of the Canon. In London the following Prospectus was issued by Mr. John Thynne, and responded to most generously, both in England and America. KINGSLEY MEMORIAL FUND. WESTMINSTER.
