Chantler All Souls' 1922". Additionally, a rectangle of paper has been pasted onto the buff-coloured paper cover upon which is written again the title, together with a list of contents and the signature: "SB".
Provenance
Inscription at head of page 130 [the 1st page of music]: "S. Beale 115 Grosvenor Park. Camberwell S.E All Souls 1923".
Provenance
At the end of his life, T. E. (Thomas Edwin) Chantler (1850-1923), was organist of All Souls' Church, Grosvenor Park, Camberwell; at the census taken on 19th June, 1921, he described himself as "organist" employed by "Revd. [Henry Grant] Baker. All Souls Camberwell". The church of All Souls, Grosvenor Park, stood in that place between 1871 and 1973.
Provenance
The Beale family resided at 115 Grosvenor Park, London S.E.5. from at least as early as 1901 until about 1929; of the 3 members of the family it was the son, Shirley John Martin Beale, who inscribed his initials and his name on this publication.
