The connection of Legh Richmond with the Lock was of very short duration. He was induced to accept the minor office of assistant to the Rev. Thomas Fry, then chaplain, and while here attracted the notice of Ambrose Serle, author of “Horæ Solitariæ,” a constant attendant of the chapel. Serle was applied to by Mrs. Fuller to recommend her a pious and practical clergyman to fill her living of Turvey; he immediately recommended Richmond, and thus it was that estimable man obtained the position he filled with such great credit to himself and the Church, and benefit to his people. His ministrations here extended only from February to October 1805. Wilberforce strongly supported this Institution, and frequently attended the Chapel. He occasionally alludes to it in his “Diary;” and Legh Richmond mentions observing him at the communion-table on one occasion, with a negro at his side, a coincidence which he afterwards found was quite accidental. The incident was not without a lesson! [Picture: Lock Chapel] The buildings were of brick, and as plain as they possibly could be. They were pulled down in 1846, and the Institution removed to the Harrow Road. LOWNDES STREET.—Colonel Gurwood, the editor of “Wellington’s Dispatches,” resided at 33, and Mrs. Gore, the novelist, once at 42. OSNABURG ROW, a court nearly at the lower end of Grosvenor Place, named after the Duke of York, who also was Bishop of Osnaburg. The Guards’ Hospital, before noticed, adjoined it, and the court was removed at the same time that building was cleared away. UPPER BELGRAVE STREET.—Numbers 1 and 2 were the first houses finished by Mr. Cubitt. No. 3 is Lord Charles Wellesley’s, and previously the present Duke of Wellington’s; hither the great Duke might frequently be seen escorting the present Duchess home. Mrs. Gore lived at No. 2, and at 13 the late Earl of Munster. Several sketches of Lord Minister’s life are given in Mr. Jerdan’s “Autobiography,” in which it is inferred the fatal aberration of intellect which led to his self-destruction arose from the discordant feelings arising from the anomalous position he held, and which he was unable to brook. He was author of several works on the history of our eastern empire, and was a patron of literature and learning. {243} WILTON STREET.—Here Mr. Spencer Percival, eldest son of the minister killed by Bellingham in 1812, resided.
