ST. PAUL’S SCHOOL BUILDING AND PARISH ROOM
We have the pleasure to announce that owing to the extreme kind and generous
liberality of our Parish Churchwarden, Mr. T.E. Ellison, these buildings have been
purchased and handed over to the Rector and Churchwardens of St. Paul’s. Thus all
further anxiety of making appeals to the parishioners has been saved. Henceforth they
will be in the care of the Rector, Churchwardens and Trustees, dating from March
th
25 , 1911. We shall look with confidence to the parishioners to enable us by their
annual subscriptions to keep these excellent buildings in good repair and maintain
their general state of efficiency in all things required in the best interests of the
School. – “Wokingham Parish Magazine.”
