After I had resigned from S Luke’s a short time Mr W H Kitson & Mr Lutxmoore (The Upton Ch-wardens) called on me & asked me to join the Upton Choir which was a paid one & eventually I did so. At that time the Choir consisted of male & female members, the principal Sopranos being Mrs Labdon & the Misses Jenkins. Mr Charles Fowler was Organist & we did some very good services & Anthems. I don’t remember anything specially taking place during the time I was in the Choir. I still sang at Concerts & my own Entertainments & in the Upton School room sang the first Song in Character that I ever did viz “Over the Garden Wall” & it took so well that I repeated it at S Matthias’ Schoolroom, but Comic Songs were never in my line & I never sang one after.
