Description
Excerpt from The Letters of Peter Lombard (Canon Benham)
I esteem it a privilege to give to this book a word of introduction and benediction. For more than thirty years I reckoned William Benham among my close personal friends. In one sense we were all his pupils, for we were continually learning from him, and that in different and very unconventional ways. He had, as everybody who came into contact with him found, a curiously wide range of miscellaneous knowledge, and I have always ascribed to the discipline of his early years of Elementary School work at West Meon and at Chelsea the power he possessed of imparting that knowledge in a simple and yet an original way. His four successive parishes - Adding ton, Margate, Marden, and St. Edmund''s - are totally different in character and congregation, but in each of them he held his people, and became in his own peculiar way the personal friend and confidant of men, women, and children who had little else in common.
