114 The Tercentenary. 



idea of any celebration of the tercentenary 

 at Stafford, it was decided to hold an 

 informal celebration of the event at 

 Broxbourne, on the Lea. Delegates from 

 the principal London angling associations 

 and other visitors were present at a pleasant 

 gathering of disciples of Walton, presided 

 over by Mr. William Senior, the angling 

 editor of The Field. It was resolved that, 

 as there was no memorial of Walton in 

 London, funds should be raised to put 

 a stained-glass window in St. Dunstan's, 

 Fleet Street, with which church he was 



birth and death had memorials of him, London, 

 where he lived so long, where his children were 

 born, and his Angler and other works published, 

 had none. I added that I had written to the 

 Rector of St. Dunstan's, Fleet Street, the Rev. 

 William Martin, making the suggestion, and 

 expressing the hope that he would approve of it. 

 I have just received Mr. Martin's reply : 



"Sr. DUNSTAN'S VESTRY, FLEET STREET, E.G. 

 "June i2(h, 1893. 



" MY DEAR MR. MARSTON, I cordially approve 

 of your suggestion, and I am very grateful to 

 you for writing to me about it. 



"I should consider it a great honour to St. 

 Dunstan's Church to have some memorial in it 

 of Izaak Walton. I had better see you about it 

 when it is convenient to you. 



"Very sincerely yours, 



" WILLIAM MARTIN. 



" R. B. MARSTON, Esq."
