Plate presented to the Rev. Alfred Williams, 1854. '...the congregation of Berkeley Chapel, John-street, Berkeley-square, desirous of presenting their late minister with a parting testimonial of their respect, have had this excellent feeling embodied in an elegant group of plate...designed and manufactured by Messrs. Williams and Co...The design is taken from Isaiah xi. - "The peaceable kingdom of the Branch out of the root of Jesse" - and represents Peace...and Truth beneath a fig-tree, with the wolf and the lamb together at her feet...The tree supports a glass dish, and the group is...a handsome centre-piece of table plate. It bears the following inscription: Presented, along with £300, to the Rev. Alfred Williams, by many of the members of the congregation...as a token of their high esteem for him personally, and of their entire satisfaction at the manner in which he had discharged his duties during a period of upwards of twenty years'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
