[Croswell recorded that the service began at 7pm] [379a: Got there 6.50. Home by 8.50.] […] P[riests]. – 3. The Vicar, the celebrated Bickers[teth] and two Curates, one of whom was elderly. O[rgan]. – Large, good, at the side of the Chancel. H[ymns]. – Only one hymn (Bickers, of course). None after the Third Collect. I thought this strange. C[hoir]. – With large bed-gown surplices. The singing was very ordinary indeed. [The congregation numbered] 900 – 450 seats are free - but where? I had difficulty in finding three. At last we got in the gallery at the West end. It was a representative gathering, and the pew-openers were attentive. S[ermon]. – We came away just before. […] M[iscellaneous]. – […] It is Low Church. […] It was a most enjoyable evening and everybody was out of doors. The tra[ms? -ins?] were crammed with holiday folk. |
