NOTES ON BOOKS:-Gamlin's George Romney and his Fotes. BEDFORD CHAPEL, BLOOMSBURY, The disappearance of this chapel is an event which ought to be recorded. I do not know when this proprietary chapel was built, but in 1846 it was remodelled. The frontage in Charlotte Street was then made to consist of five arches divided by flat composite columns; over the centres of the arches appeared in medallions the emblem of the Trinity and two lambs and two doves. In the centre and two side arches were three entrance doors. The north side of the chapel in Oxford Street and the south side in a small street were treated in a similar manner to the frontage, and each showed five bays bearing the same emblems. On the roof was a belfry turret and on the corners of the roof were four monoliths. The interior was very plain and lighted with round-headed windows. The pews were of the old-fashioned box pattern, and an ugly gallery extended round three sides of the building. When New Oxford Street was made, Charlotte Street became a part of Bloomsbury Street, and still later on, when Shaftesbury Avenue was laid out, the portion of Bloomsbury Street in which the chapel stood was incorporated with and numbered in the Avenue. Among the persons who have officiated as perpetual curates are the following: The Revs. Henry Hughes, 1839; Berkeley Addison, 1841; Algernon Sydney Thelwall, 1842; Thomas Ward, 1843; David Fenton Jarman, 1849; John Garwood, 1855; Stopford Augustus Brooke became the incumbent of Bedford Chapel in June, 1876, and by the literary finish of his sermons soon filled his chapel with a congregation. In 1880 he seceded from the Church of England, his reason for this step being that he had ceased to believe in miracles, more particularly in the miracle of the Incarnation. He then joined the Unitarian Church, and as Bedford Chapel had never been consecrated and was private property, he continued to officiate in that building for some years. Latterly the chapel has been closed, and now it has been sold; the tearing down was commenced on 4 February, and its site will soon be occupied by the works of the Lighting Corporation. The subject of proprietary chapels in London is interesting. Many of these chapels have been closed and have disappeared, owing partly to the increase of district churches and partly to the removal into the suburbs of their congregations. I think some facts respecting these buildings and their histories would make interesting reading in 'N. & Q.,' more particularly as hardly anything is to be found on the subject in any one of the numerous books written about London.
