Caption

The English Chapel, Upper Town, Boulogne-sur-Mer, [France], 1850. 'The Rev. Thomas Harvey, who has for several years past been seeking to obtain redress for his removal from the chaplancies of Genoa and Antwerp, has lately purchased the English Chapel in Upper Town, Boulogne-sur-Mer, and become minister of the same. This chapel, not being endowed, is supported exclusively by the seat rent and by voluntary contributions. There is, evidently, a strong feeling in Mr. Harvey's favour at Boulogne; for, since he has taken possession of the chapel, the congregation and communicants have much increased, the former averaging nearly 400, and the latter about sixty monthly. The chapel has been established since 1819; but has been entirely re-embellished since Mr. Harvey became the proprietor'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
