Excerpt from Notes on Mediaeval Services in England: With an Index of Lincoln Ceremonies Myself born under the Shadow of the Abbey, I had the privilege of being christened in the south west chapel, and I remember being present some years later at the baptism of a child in the font which, until later alterations, stood there in front of the place where the monumental effigy of Keble w remains. My Father, who, leaving the head mastership of Harrow, became Can of Westminster in 1844, established the early communion in the Abbey on Sundays; and he was instrumental also in reviving the plainly recited early mattins on week days, which (like the usual choral service sung at the ordinary hour) was in the quire at Westminster.
