Horley Parish Church
The text in this document is taken from a small leaflet measuring some
4 x 6 inches which we think must have been written in about 1902 or 1903. It was printed by F Payne.
We do not know who the author was because the 24 page leaflet gives no clues.
It is highly probable that the author was the Rev Henry Lewis himself as by 1901 he had been at Horley for 11 years and must have been familiar with the history of St Bart’s. If it was not Henry Lewis, it may well have been written by the senior Church Warden, Bernard Parsons.

SHORT ACCOUNT
OF THE
Enlargement of the Church
WITH A
BRIEF SKETCH OF
ITS EARLY HISTORY.
On Monday evening, June 19th, 1899, a meeting, which had been looked forward to with considerable interest, was held in the Church Room, Albert Road, Horley, to discuss what steps should be taken to provide additional Church accommodation for the Parish. There were present: The Rev. H. T. Lewis, M.A. (Vicar), presiding; Mr. B. W. Parsons and Mr. John Boys (churchwardens); Mr. E. W. Jenkins, Mr. A. Farquharson Roberts, Mr. A. E. Jennings (sidesmen); Mr. and Mrs. Henry Webber, Mr. R, B. Evered, Mr. T. Matthews (organist and choirmaster of the Parish Church), Mr. W. J. Hallett, Mr. Lionel Roberts, Mr. Frank E. Glover, Mr. Walter Kelsey, Mr. Smith, and Mrs. R. L. Love, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Chevallier, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Foster, Mr. John Baker, Mr. James Henderson, Mr. W. B. Wood Senr., Mr. A. Songhurst, Mr. W. H. Kelsey, Nurse Murrell, Miss Wright, Miss Diplock Mrs. Wakefield, Mrs. Larby, Mr. W. J. Hamblin, Mr. E. Prichard, &c, &c.
The Chairman read letters expressing inability to be present from Mr. Richard C. Blundell and Mr. W. Dawson; and also letters on the subject of increased Church accommodation for Horley from the Bishop of Rochester, Archdeacon Burney, the Rev. G. F. Slade (Rural Dean), Mr. John H. Bridges, Mr. A. H. Eve, Mr. A. G. Church, Mrs, Batty-Smith, Mr. James M. Constable (New York) who sent the very first contribution of £250 for the enlargement of the Parish Church; Mr Spencer Charrington MP and Captain Drummond. Mr. E. W. Jenkins moved: That the Parish Church be enlarged, that this meeting assure the Vicar and Church Wardens of its hearty support, and that a Building Committee be appointed. Mr Jenkins thought it was the best thing that could be done for the Parish. He was very much attached the Old Parish Church, and he should not go anywhere else. Mr. A. Roberts seconded the resolution, which was carried, after an amendment to erect an entirely new church had been lost.
On the motion of Mr. T. Matthews, the Rev. H. T. Lewis (vicar), Messrs, B. W. Parsons and John Boys (Churchwardens), Mr. R. B. Evered, Mr. E. W. Jenkins, and Mr. A. F. Robert were appointed a committee to carry out the enlargement of the Parish Church.
At the first meeting of the Committee, held on June 28th 1899 at Vicarage, on motion of Mr. R. B. Evered, the Vicar was unanimously appointed Chairman of the Building Committee and on the motion of R. B. Evered, seconded by Mr. B. W. Parsons, Mr T Matthews was unanimously appointed Hon Secretary of the Building Committee.
It was then resolved that steps be taken to obtain the necessary faculty, and that a notice of a vestry meeting, be held at the Parish Church on Monday, July 10th, 1899, at 7-30 p.m., be posted on the Church doors on the Sunday next ensuing, July 2nd 1899 and that the object of the said vestry meeting be to obtain the authority of the parishioners in vestry assembled to petition for a faculty to enlarge the Parish Church, and for other matters connected therewith.
The vestry meeting was duly convened, and held at the Parish Church on July 10th, 1899. There were thirty-eight persons present. Mr. A. F. Roberts then moved the following resolution; “That the Vicar and Churchwardens of S. Bartholomew’s Church, Horley, be, and they are hereby, empowered and requested to apply for a faculty to carry out the enlargement or the Church in accordance with the plans prepared and proposed by Sir Arthur Blomfield & Sons, which have been submitted and approved by this meeting.” Mr R B Evered seconded the motion, for which thirty-six held up their hands while on the contrary none voted. The motion was then declared carried nem.con. On the proposition of Mr. Jenkins, seconded by Mr. Freeman, a vote of thanks to the Vicar for presiding was carried unanimously, The Vicar, in acknowledging the vote, expressed the hope that in due time the wishes of the other parishioners, who differed slightly from them in the course which they were now taking, would be also realised.
The petition for the faculty to empower the Vicar and the Churchwardens to enlarge Horley Parish Church in accordance with the plans prepared by Sir A. Blomfield & Sons was forwarded to the Diocesan Registrar on the 14th October and a document asking for any objections why the Chancellor of the Diocese should not grant the faculty was duly posted on the principal door of the parish Church on Sunday, 22nd October, before Morning Prayer. The faculty was granted on the 31st October. and was unopposed.
The Committee then issued a circular to the parishioners and friends soliciting donations to enable them to carry out the work. In their circular the committee stated that “ The venerable Church dates as far back as the beginning of the 11th Century and was restored in 1882 by and under the direction of the eminent church architect, the late Sir Arthur Blomfield M.A. who also prepared the plans for the present enlargement, and who expressed the opinion that the new south aisle and organ chamber &c., which it was now intended to build, would, besides giving the additional sittings so much needed, add greatly to the architectural beauty of the building. The addition of a south aisle would provide sittings for about half as many again as at present. The present seating provided for about 420. It was estimated that the cost of carrying out the enlargement would be close upon £3,000, towards which the donations make enumerated in the accompanying list had already been given or promised. To make up the deficiency the committee earnestly appealed for help both inside and outside the Parish.
The Lord Bishop of Rochester wrote : “ I will gladly give £5. 5s. in recognition of the great need of Horley Church extension”. The Venerable Archdeacon Burney wrote : “ As soon as you are in a position to commence your church enlargement work, if you will write to me, I will send you a cheque for £3. 3s. I wish I could send you a cheque for a larger contribution”. Rev, G. F. Slade, M.A., Rural Dean. says “ It gives me much pleasure to be able to subscribe £10 to the fund for the building of the aisle in your church.”
At a meeting or the Building Committee, held at Mr. Evered’s offices on March 5th 1900, it was proposed by Mr. Parsons and seconded by Mr. Evered that Mr. William Parmenter’s estimate be and is hereby accepted, and the Building Committee by their article of agreement handed over to Mr W Parmenter on the 2nd April 1900, such portions of the Church and Churchyard as were necessary to add on a south aisle and organ chamber in accordance with the plans of Sir Arthur Blomfield & Sons.
The work was actually begun on Monday April 23rd 1900 and very soon the workmen demolished portions or the south wall. It was very interesting to notice the two wall plates in the south wall, which could be distinctly seen where the workmen had made large opening. The wall plates were about eighteen inches apart, and proved that the south wall of the Old nave was once raised, and there was additional proof from the corbels inside the Church, and also from the fact that the west window of the nave was not in the centre.
The Vicar, just before the commencement of the work, received the following letter from Mr. Frederick A. Constable, of New York :
“New York, March 9th 1900. My dear Lewis, – Father and I have talked over the subject of the Horley Parish Church enlargement fund, and we now make the Parish the following offer. If, at any time before April 1st 1901, you have raised for the enlargement of the Church the sum or twenty-five hundred pounds. you can call upon us for two hundred and fifty pounds each being the last five hundred pounds to make the required three thousand. We trust that now you can raise the required amount. Yours sincerely, Fredk. A. Constable”.
It is impossible to express how grateful all in the Parish were to Mr. Frederick A. Constable and his father, Mr. James M. Constable. The £500 was received by the Vicar on the 23rd February, 1901.
During the enlargement the organ was removed to the east end of the north aisle, and the Sunday school children were provided with accommodation in the belfry.
The functions of the Bellringers were suspended by the order of the architects whilst the building of the south aisle was being proceeded with.
During the demolition of the south wall of the chancel, Mr. Joe Hardy, – Mr. Parmenter’s foreman – came across the sill of an old lancet window. It would be interesting to know when the two windows in the south side of the chancel, which we were so well accustomed to, took the place of the ancient lancet windows. Several old copper coins or the eighteenth century were found by the workmen in digging the foundations. Whilst the enlargement was being proceeded with it was very interesting to watch the gradual development of the whole work. The weather had been most favourable for the work, and Wednesday 12th December, 1900, was the day fixed by the Bishop of Rochester to open and dedicate the new south aisle.
Unfortunately, he was unable to officiate himself at the dedication, as he had contemplated, and his place was taken by Bishop Johnson, formerly Bishop of Calcutta, and Metropolitan of India. The clergy present were the Rev. H. T. Lewis(vicar of the parish) ; Rev. P. R. Mahony, Salfords ; Rev. G. F. Slade, Buckland (rural dean); Rev. G. Hartwell Jones, Nutfield, Rev. A. G, Rogers, Gatton, Rev. D. W. Lewis, Forest Green ; Rev. H. Cart, Berkeley Chapel, Mayfair ; Rev. Palmer Lane, Reigate ; Rev. J. C. Walbrand Evans Burstow; Rev. C. Lucas, Leigh, Rev. W. W. Youard, Lowfield Heath; Rev, J. M. Gordon, St. John’s, Redhill ; Rev. W. London, South Merstham. At 3.15 p.m., the Bishop attended by the Clergy, the Churchwardens (Messrs. B. W. Parsons and A. F. Roberts), and other officials, and the surpliced choir, proceeded from the vestry through the Church, the choir singing the 84th Psalm. The Bishop then proceeded with the first part of the service, which was followed by prayer. Proceeding to the chancel, the 122nd Psalm was sung; standing at the altar the Bishop declared the reason for the gathering there that day, and then came an interval of silent prayer, followed by short responses, and the Lord’s Prayer. Singing the first part of the hymn Blessed City, ‘Heavenly Salem,” the procession wended its way to the south aisle; appropriate prayers were then offered by the Bishop, and these were followed by the dedication sentences, and while the rest of the hymn was being sung the procession returned to the chancel stalls. The Bishop then delivered an appropriate address. At 7-30 p.m., there was choral evensong, and an excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. T. R. Willacy, Vicar of Thorganby, York.
The Holy Communion was celebrated at 8 a.m. on the opening day. and a Confirmation was held at 12 o’clock, when 110 candidates were confirmed from Horley, Burstow and Lowfield Heath. Mr. T. Matthews presided at the organ throughout the day, excepting that the final voluntary after evensong was played by Mr. Charles Trevarthen. The actual words which the Bishop used in dedicating the new south aisle and organ chamber were these: “ By virtue of our sacred office in the Church of God, we do now dedicate and set apart from all profane and common uses this aisle and organ chamber, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.”
The new altar frontal was the kind gift of Mrs. B. W. Parsons, and the super-frontal had been worked by Mrs. Lewis, Mrs and Miss Jenkins, Miss Pagden, Miss C. Short, the Misses Nottidge, and Miss Buschman; the flowers for the altar vases on the dedication day were given by Mr. F. E. Glover; and the six beautiful alms bags by Mrs. E. W. Jenkins and Miss Jenkins,
The new west porch was commenced on Monday January 21st, 1901, and on the following February 21st, Mr. Parmenter’s son (who superintended the work from its commencement), with his able foreman (Mr. Joe Hardy), and the workmen, left Horley. For not one Sunday were the parishioners excluded from worshipping at their Parish Church. Mr. Parsons (the Vicar’s warden) was most anxious that Divine service should be held every Sunday whilst the alterations were being carried out, and this was, we are thankful to say, effected without much inconvenience.
The organ, after many wanderings and exiles was located in its proper habitation, and under the skill of Mr. Pilcher, acting for Messrs. Bishop & Son, has been considerably improved.
Mr. John Bridges presented a valuable stop, and defrayed the entire cost of painting the pipes facing the chancel, whilst Mr. R. Evered sent a valuable contribution towards painting the new pipes.
A grand two days’ bazaar was held on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 16th and 17th, 1901, on behalf of the Church enlargement fund. Mrs. Parsons was president of the ladies committee. The bazaar was opened the first day by Lady Louisa Fielding, accompanied by Miss Fielding, and on the second day by Lady Farwell, accompanied by Miss Farwell. The following took part in the bazaar Mr and Mrs, Bridges, the Misses and Master Bridges, and Miss and Master Lewis, Mrs. Bernard W. Parsons, Mrs. Will Parsons, Miss Parsons, Mrs. Hussey, Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Constable, Mrs. Jackson, the Misses
Harford, Miss Farwell, Mrs. Wiseman, Miss Corker, Mrs. Love, Miss Walton, Miss Wiseman, Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. Sotham, Mrs. Kent, the Misses Stevens, Mrs. Dawson, Mrs. and the Misses Evered, Mrs. and Miss Jenkins, Mrs Castle, Mrs. Farquharson Roberts, Miss Church, Mrs. Walter Smith, the Misses Smith, Master Sidney Batty-Smith, Miss Daisy Roberts, Miss Tettenborn, Mrs. John Newton, Mrs. C. Page, Mrs. Brough Maltby, Mrs. Duberly, Miss Tritton, Mrs. Thynne, Miss Muter, the Misses Taylor, Messrs. Hully and Morris Webber, Mr. George Baker, and many others. £210 19s 6d. were the total receipts, and after expenses had been paid £195 10s was handed over to the building fund.
The Building Committee met eighteen times, and the minutes of the Committee will be handed down amongst the Parish Church documents.
It might be appropriate here to give a sketch of the history of the church. The Church dates back to the eleventh century, and there was probably a church on the present site of the Parish Church at a still earlier date than this. The first intelligence about the Church comes from documents which are at the record office, dated 1292, and is in regard to letters patent to John, Bishop of Winchester. In these is recited a Bull of Clement Ill., dated Lateran, March 20th, fourth year of his pontificate, that is in the year 1084, and it is set forth that the Abbot and Convent of Certeseye (Chertsey) are to retain in their own hands the parish churches of Bocham, Ebesham (Epsom), Ewell, Waltham, Horley, &c., to receive the benefices thereof for their own use, and to appoint the Vicars, so that there is mention of the Church. at Horley as early as 1084.
Richard de Storterord was Vicar in 1298.
George de Aperdele was Vicar in 1377, and he exchanged with John Alwyn, Vicar of Leatherhead, in that year, two years later Alwyn made an exchange with William West, who was then Vicar of Epsom. At the period of 1291 the ecclesiastical taxation of Pope Nicholas IV. was based upon a valuation amounting to twenty-two marks (an old English coin value 13s 4d.), and the Parish had to pay a tenth, which was £1 9s. 4d. In a state paper of the time of Henry VIll. (1537), it appears that that pious defender of the faith was so vexed with the unholy lives of the monks of St. Peter’s, Chertsey, that he punished them by a fine. John the Abbot had no means of paying this except by giving up the living of Horley and the church lands to the King. He thereupon made a present of the same to Catherine of Arragon, who in her turn, let the “fields and villions” to Sir Michael Carew. The then Vicar, not feeling his portion very safe, wrote to ask for the protection of the King, which was most generously accorded on condition that half the sacramental plate should be given to His Majesty for those uses for which his memory is so famous.
We know that in the fifth year or Edward Vl, 1552, a commission was issued for the verifying of the inventories of the churchplate belonging to the churches of Surrey, and in the report in regard to Horley was ”Imprimis IJ chalices whereof one stolen, and the other remaineth with them.” What has been the eventual disposition of the solitary chalice of the time of Edward VI. would be very interesting to know.
Henry VIIl gave the manor of Horley in November 1537 to Sir Nicolas Carew, K.G. On his attainder, in 1539 It reverted to the Crown, and then it was granted to Sir R. Southwell, in exchange for the Rectory of Horsham and divers lands there. He sold it in 1593 with the Rectory and advowson to Mathew Carew, a Master in Chancery, and subsequently it passed into the hands of James Crowner. In 1602 the Manor of Horley with the advowson was sold to the Governors of Christ’s Hospital, and they have held the patronage of the living ever since. About twenty-five years ago the Parish was transferred from the Winchester to the Rochester diocese. There is a record of Abbot Jm. de Rutherwick having obtained the appropriation in 1312 and being inducted by Archdeacon Barthon.

The Parish Church was thoroughly restored in 1881— 1882, at a cost of £3,000, under the direction of Sir A. Blomfield.
At that time the roofs were renewed and the interior fittings and galleries removed. In 1895 the tower and spire were completely restored under the superintendence of Messrs Kelsey and Head, the work being ably carried out by Mr. C. Bassett.
The oldest families in Horley are the Blundells, Bridges, Charringtons, Constables, and Shoves, and all have, in their time taken a prominent interest in matters appertaining to the Parish Church. The stained east window in the Church is a memorial to the Rev. H. H. Hughes, for nineteen years Vicar and thirty years Curate.
The west window of the Church was the gift of the late Mr John Maple, of Petridge Wood, in memory of his son, Mr Harry Maple. The re-table, cross on the altar, the vases, altar desk, altar dish, altar linen, surplices for the choir, etc., were all given by the late Rev. Canon Bridges of Langshott, sometime Rector or Beddington: the brass lectern was the gift or Mr. J. Rice in memory of his father, the Rev. Edward Rice, a former Vicar; and the reredos was presented by Mr. E, Shove, in memory of his ancestors. A silver gilt chalice and paten were presented to the Church by Mr. F. E. Glover, in memory of his father, and were first used on Easter Day, 1900.
There are many objects of interest to antiquaries in Horley Parish Parish Church. There is the monument at the south-east end of the north aisle, now unfortunately so much mutilated,; it probably represented a knight in the peculiar kind of armour worn during the early part of King Edward lll’s reign. The general style of the armour is such as to lead to the conclusion that the monument was the work of a French artist. Over his mail armour is a peculiar garment called a cyclas. The date of the monument is between 1315 and 1330, and some antiquaries ascribe it to the memory of Sir Roger Salomon of Horley, Knight, whose daughter and co-heir married Ralph Saunders.
THE BRASSES.
Many people in Horley are not aware or the very fine brass in the Church chancel. It is to the memory of Johan Ffenner. The figure stands under the representation of a canopy with ogee upper curve, the lower curve being a cusped arch. On the ogee are crockets and it terminates in a filial of foliage, as do the two pinnacles at its sides. Under the figure is a brass oblong plate containing the inscription, the Gothic lettering of which is perfect. It runs as follows, in four lines: “Of your charite pray for soule of Johan Ffenner late wyf of John Ffenner, Gent. which Johan deceased the 11 day of July, in the yere or our Lord MDXVI, on whose soule Jesu have mercy, Amen”.
This is not the original inscription, and as the two shields of arms have been torn away, and the original inscription is also missing, we have no means of identifying whom this memorial originally commemorated. That now at the foot of the brass was undoubtedly placed there at least ninety-five years after the original brass had been laid down. The head-dress is an early form known as the mitred or horned head-dress. Round her neck is suspended the SS collar, but unfortunately the ” esses’ themselves are almost entirely obliterated; they can, however, be seen if a careful heelball rubbing is taken of them.
This costume is uncommon on brasses, and is never found earlier than c. 1410 (12th Henry lV) or later than c. 1440 (19th Henry Vl) In all about eighteen examples of it now remain. A brass such as ours at Horley where an earlier memorial has been altered for use and appropriated for someone else at a later date, is called a Palimpsest, from the fact of the older figure being turns over and re-engraved on other side, or else shading being added to dress, the brass being, as it were, scratched again.
At the south end of the cross aisles of the chancel, in front of the sacrarium is a small brass, with the effigy of a civilian attired in the costume generally worn during the early part of the 16th century; it was probably laid down about 1520. It is not improbable that this later brass is the memorial of John Fenner, gent, widower of the said Joan.
The enlargement of the Church by the building on of a new south aisle and organ chamber is perhaps the most important development the Church has seen since the time that the Nave was added to the north aisle. We have now a fairly large church for a country parish, and we hope that parishioners will make every use of the increased accommodation for worshipping and praising God, and glorifying His Holy Name.
Explanatory Note
In the original booklet as published, this list of donations and expenditure was included and is reproduced here because it may be of interest to future generations.
Assuming the benchmark of the year 1900 readers should be made aware that in that year a donation of £100 would be the equivalent of about £10,250 today (2024).
A £5 donation then would be equivalent to £511 today and a £1 gift would be worth £102.34.
Readers unfamiliar with ‘old money’ may like to know that there were 12 pence to a shilling and 20 shillings to a pound.
Donations were often made in ‘guineas’ which were multiples of £1. 1s. 0d.
In addition to £5 and £1 notes coinage was made up as follows: A half-crown was 2s/6d and there were eight to a £. A florin was worth 2s and there were thus 10 to a £. We then had shillings, worth 12 pence, Sixpenny pieces and threepenny ‘bits’, before we got down to pennys (240 to a £) half-pennys and farthings, (a quarter of a penny.)
