THOMAS KEN AND IZAAK WALTON 203 



this day, April 5, 1895, on the front wall of St. 

 Diinstan's Church, facing Fleet Street. 



IzAAK Walton Memorial Window 

 (5/. Diuistaiis CJun'ch, Fleet Street, London) 



The occasion of the unveiling of this Memorial 

 W^indow was an interesting one, and I may be 

 excused for recording it in some detail. The 

 church was crowded on the occasion, including 

 among the visitors the Master of the Ironmongers' 

 Company, Mr. Walker Baily, and many members 

 of that company. Mr. Baily gave an interesting 

 address in which he told the story of Walton's 

 connection with the Ironmongers' Company (which 

 I have already partly quoted ; see Part I. Chap iii.), 



Mr. R. B. Marston told the story of the origin of 

 the window, and referring to its quality, said the 

 colours would last as long as glass could last. He 

 then described the window in detail. 



" The centre light of this window contains a 

 full-length figure of Walton, being a copy of 

 the charming statue by Miss Mary Grant in 

 Winchester Cathedral, and a smaller panel 

 shows him seated at his library table
