O[rgan]. – Probably old as it is one from a City church.  It is good.

H[ymns]. – A. & M. -  There was a hymn before the service.  This is curious.  The Anthem and hymn is a capital idea.

C[hoir]. – Very large, surpliced, good.  Some boys had fine voices.

[The congregation numbered] 800 – The congregation was large and representative of all, even the old.  All were quite devout and attentive.

[…]

M[iscellaneous]. – It is all cathedral-service-like.  They turn to the East at the Creed.  The boys were tunred [sic] out here before the sermon.  We left directly after the offertory.  There are two bells.
