MORTUARY
The Vestry, having, after much consideration,
decided that a Mortuary should be erected in the
Parish, a Special Committee was appointed for that
purpose who very carefully viewed similar buildings
erected by other Vestries and District Boards. By
their direction, plans, with alternative designs, were
prepared by your Surveyor for a Mortuary to be
placed in the disused Burial Ground of Saint George,
next the canal, and the Vicar (the Rev. S. Smith)
having consented to recommend the appropriation
of a portion of the site, the Vestry adopted the design.
The estimated cost was about £600, and the
necessary petition to the Bishop for a faculty, has
been prepared and lodged by the Solicitors of the
Vestry, and on the approval of such site, &c., the
building will then be proceeded with.
