Sir, – We should be grateful if you would allow us to make in your columns the following announcement for the benefit of friends and admirers of the late Rev. Lord Victor Seymour outside of his own parish of St. Stephen’s, Gloucester Road.
The Parochial Church Council has decided on a memorial, which is to take two forms: an endowment fund and a screen before the Lady-chapel. The church, without an endowment, is in a precarious position, and may be more so in the future; and it is known that Lord Victor himself desired earnestly that such a fund should be raised. Those who knew him personally, wish also that his great services should be commemorated by a visible memorial in the church of which he was vicar for twenty-eight years. It is therefore proposed that a carved Gothic screen should be erected in the arch before the Lady-chapel. The screen would bear an inscription stating the sum of money raised in his memory for the endowment of the living.
Donations and promises of payments, either at one date or to be made in instalments during 1936, will be received either by the Churchwardens, St. Stephen’s Church, The Vestry, Gloucester Road, S. W. 7, or by the Manager, The National Provincial Bank Limited, Cromwell, S. W. 7.
