The vestry was built in 1895, and in that year the old brick wall which formerly surrounded the churchyard was replaced by the present railing. The City Council contributed £50 towards the cost of the bell on the condition that it should be rung at nine o’clock every evening—a reminiscence of the English curfew which is still continued. Beside the west door were hung the old colours of the 2nd Battalion of the West India Regiment, returned to the rebuilt garrison chapel at Up-Park Camp in 1912, and on either side are monumental brasses—one (1896) to the memory of officers and men of the 1st Battalion W.I.R. who fell in West Africa in various expeditions, and another (1898) to officers who died of fever on the West Coast of Africa and in this island; and there are marble tablets to the officers of the 1st and 3rd W.I.R. who died here and elsewhere in the West Indies of yellow fever in 1853. The following is as perfect a list of the rectors of the parish as it has been found possible to compile: 1701–(?) 1714. Rev. William Collins. 1715————— Rev. — Skipp. 1722–1754. Rev. William May, M.A. 1729————— Rev. Charles Lambe, D.D. 1754–1765. Rev. Robert Atkins. 1766–1768. Rev. John Pool. 1768–1776. Rev. Thomas Coxeter. 1776–1784. Rev. William Morgan, D.D. 1784–1805. Rev. Thomas Rees. 1805–1813. Rev. Alexander Campbell, M.A. 1813–1828. Rev. Isaac Mann, M.A. 1829–1847. Ven. Archdeacon Edward Pope, D.D. 1848–1860. Ven. Archdeacon Thomas Stewart, D.D. 1861–1872. Ven. Archdeacon Duncan Houston Campbell, M.A. 1873–1908. Ven. Archdeacon George William Downer. 1908.————— Rev. R. J. Ripley. It is difficult to understand how Lambe came to be rector during May’s tenure of office. It may have been an acting appointment during the incumbent’s illness. The authority for including Lambe in the list of rectors is the following entry in Foster’s “Alumni Oxonienses”: Lambe, Charles. S. John [Dean of Ely]. Ch. Ch. Matric. 1697, aged 18 [or 13]; B.A. 1701, M.A. from King’s Coll., Cambridge, 1709. D.D. Lambeth, 1722.... Chaplain to the Duke of Portland when Governor of Jamaica, Rector of Kingston, Jamaica, 1729. The records of the parish church of Kingston extant unfortunately only go as far back as the year 1722, the date of the first “Christening” recorded. The marriages at that time were by licence, or _Bannis tribus vicibus promulgatis_. By recent legislation one calling of the banns is sufficient. It is curious to note the large number of widows amongst the brides and of mariners amongst the bridegrooms. One of the best kept registers is that of baptisms, commenced in 1785 by the Rev. Thomas Rees. The first entry is: Joseph Fennell Brookbank, the son of Mary Fennell, a free mulatto woman, by George Brookbank, was born April 12, 1779, Bapt. Jany. 1, 1785.
