NATURE NOTES 
Alleyne, the founder of Dulwich College, who was churchwarden here, John 
Bunyan, St. Swithin and others. All of these were inspected and their meanings 
and symbols luminously explained and commented on by Canon Bristow. 
Several monuments add to the historic interest of the church. The poet Gower 
and his wife lie under a beautiful canopied tomb in the north aisle : an oaken 
effigy of a Crusader, and a monument with kneeling figures to Alderman Humble, 
an ancestor of the present Earl of Dudley, also find places. There is a good 
deal of modern oak carving in the choir and many of the windows are modern ; 
but all the restoration, where there has been any, has been done in a reverential 
manner, and the modern work is in entire keeping with the character of the 
church. A more charming and instructive lecturer could not be found than Canon 
Rhodes Bristow, and he carried away with him the gratitude and thanks of the 
party at the close.
