Below are the words, “ Till Angels wake thee with a strain like thine.** There are three Memorials on the walls of the Chapel. The oldest is to Mr. Herbert Williams, whose name appears among those who were most active in the founding of the Hospital; he was the first elected Treasurer, and continued his good work until he died in 1878, a period of about 40 years. On the South Wall is the Brass in memory of Rev. C. W. Bingham, who held the responsible ofiice of Chairman for 33 years, from 1849 to 1881. On the North wall is recorded the splendid work of Dr. W. Vawdry Tush, Hon. Physician from 1872 to 1904. His death occurred in the Board Room during a Committee Meeting on 7th December, 1904. EMPLOYEES* CONTRIBUTORY SCHEME. The attention of all Governors and Employers of labour is drawn to the benefit to be derived by all Employees and others who at any time may desire to claim admission to the Hospital either as In-patients or Out-patients. All In-patients have for several years been required to pay 10/6 per week towards the cost of their maintenance. The Contributory Scheme was launched in the year 1922 and Members thereby insure against the risk of having to pay the 10/6 per week.
