resemblance to the original. Hasted remarks that, in his time, "One side of the ancient tower alone remains, but there are two small bells in it."

In the Church-yard on the south, are two very remarkable yew trees of great circumference. The epitaphs are but few; among them there is one to the memory of John Coleman, who died 19th March, 1830, aged eighty-four, much beloved and respected by all who knew him. There is another in remembrance of Elizabeth Norman, who died 1st February, 1842, aged eighty-seven; for thirty-five years she was housekeeper at Walmer Castle; and several others. One especially must not be over-looked, viz., that of John Kale, the honest and faithful servant of Sir Denis Pack remaining with him as such until the death of that distinguished general officer. He accompanied his master in his campaign in South America in 1805-6, throughout the whole war of the Peninsula, and finally at Waterloo. He died 6th January, 1840, aged sixty-nine years.

Walmer Parish comprises about eight hundred acres of land. In 1861, when the last census was taken, the population, exclusive of the military, numbered 906 males, and 1,222 females; total 2,128; disparity of the sexes, 316 females above males.

It has been before mentioned that a new Church was erected at Lower Walmer in close proximity to the North and South Barracks. The foundation stone of this Church was laid on the 15th August, 1848, by Mrs. John Bridges, a benevolent lady of Upper Walmer, to whose earnestness and zeal in the cause of christain truth and love the erection of this pretty Church may be attributed. It was consecrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury on the 2nd July, 1849, on which occasion a public dinner took place at the "Royal Standard" Inn, when about sixty persons who had been engaged in the building of the Church were present. At the same time

this auspicious event was celebrated by a dinner, given by Mrs. Bridges, to the whole population of the parish of Walmer, or to as many who chose to partake of it. The viands were abundant and sufficient for all comers, consisting of meat and drink, all of which had been provided at that lady's expense. This Church is dedicated to St. Saviour's, and at the time of its consecration the Rev. W. B. Holland was the curate of Walmer.

The Rev. John Branfill Harrison is now the Incumbent of the Parish, and the Rev. David Bruce Pain is Curate of St. Saviour's. We understand ample proof has been given of the want of a new Church by a large attendance of persons for whom it was designedly built and endowed. The Parish Church of St. Mary in Walmer is not valued in the Kings Books. In 1578 there were eighty-one communicants, which, probably, comprised the whole adult population of Walmer.
