OBITUARY NOTICE OF C. B. P. BOSANQUET 215 



also one of the founders and joint-secretary of the London 

 Diocesan Association of Lay Helpers. Returning to North- 

 umberland in 1875, he identified himself with the public 

 life of the county, and especially that of the neighbourhood 

 in which he lived. The Alnwick Board of Guardians, the 

 Alnwick Rural District Council, the Northern Union Poor 

 Law Conferences, the Newcastle Diocesan Committees, and 

 the Northumberland district of the Church Missionary Society, 

 all knew the value of his devoted, high principled, and 

 disinterested services. 



Mr Bosanquet became a member of our Club as far back 

 as 29th September 1859, and it is to be regretted that, 

 although solicited, his numerous public duties did not permit 

 him to occupy the office of President of the Club. He was, 

 however, a frequent attender at our meetings, where his 

 presence was always welcomed.* He was also a member of 

 the Newcastle Society of Antiquaries, having joined that 

 Society on 27th December 1883, and was one of the founders 

 and original members of the Northumberland History Com- 

 mittee, whose monthly meetings, in Newcastle, he attended 

 very regularly. 



Mr Bosanquet died at Richmond, in Yorkshire, 18th June 

 1905, and a few days later was laid to rest in the graveyard 

 attached to the ancient chapel of Rock, a stone's throw 

 from his own door. He 'married, 31st July 1862, Miss Eliza 

 Isabella Carr, daughter of Mr Ralph Carr-Ellison of Hedgeley, 

 Northumberland, and of Dunstan Hill, co. Durham (one of 

 the earliest members of our Club, and a valued contributor 

 to our Tx'ansactions) by whom he left two sons and six 

 daughters.
