IZAAK WALTON AND HIS FRIENDS 147 



He died at Chelsea College, and was buried 

 in the chancel of Lambeth Parish Church.^ It 

 is most curious to note that Featley, who was 

 so very bitter against the Baptists, should have 

 been buried in a church where a font-grave for 

 baptising adults by immersion has been dedicated 

 as a memorial to Archbishop Benson. It is de- 

 signed after the general plan of one in the ruined 

 Church of St Stephen, in the Campagna at Rome. 

 The inscription, in open copper work, is taken from 

 the font of St Sophia at Constantinople — 



NIYON ANOMHMATA 

 MH MONAN OYIN, 



which, being translated, means "Wash your 

 transgressions, not only your face." ^ The last 

 Rector, the Rev. J. Andrewes Reeve, received 

 the approval of Archbishop Benson to the erection 

 of such font in his lifetime. There is no other 

 church belonging to the Establishment in London 

 in which baptism can be duly administered by 

 immersion. Featley spelt his name in four 

 different ways, viz., Fertlough, Fairclough, Fair- 

 clowe and Featley.

^ There is a silver dish used for rose-water, belonging to Trinity 

 College, Cambridge, on which these words appear in a little circle in 

 the centre of the dish. For various references to this inscription, see
