| | Alexander Penrose Forbes, by William Perry |
 | | Beresford Hope, Sir John Coleridge, Lord Kinnaird, and Professor Joseph Robertson, the antiquary, were his personal friends, all of them men of the world and earnest churchmen, but each of them with special interests (politics, art, law, philanthropy, history), all of which were nearly as much his as theirs. |
 | | The minute-book of the vestry of St. Paul's shows that as early as January 1848 the Bishop was taking practical steps to erect a new church in place of the unsightly chapel which had served as a place of worship since 1812. |
 | | So successful were his efforts in raising money that in 1853 it was deemed safe to begin the erection of the church, and two years later it was dedicated and opened for worship, though a large sum had still to be found to meet the expenditure. |
