Endowments in which the Parish is interested has been
strengthened and improved; with rare skill he traced the
history of the Conduit Street property, formerly the site of
Trinity Chapel, and thus led to the Parish of St. James being
admitted to participate in the valuable Almshouse and Pension
Charity of the Mother Parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields; and
by unflagging interest and exertions he succeeded in effecting
several improvements in the fabric of the Church. The Vestry
tender to Mr. Crane their grateful acknowledgement of his long
continued and valuable services to the Parish, not only in these
varied ways but also as a Vestryman, and member of many
other Parochial bodies, and as a small testimony of his
unblemished career and life of usefulness, order this Eesolution
to be entered on the Minutes of their proceedings.
