Scope and content
A Chelsea parson has bluntly turned down on an offer by property men to buy his back garden for £450,000. The Rev. Ross Hook the quiet spoken rector of St. Luke's Chelsea, told them: "There are some thing in life that money can't buy." The freehold of the two-and-a-half acre rectory garden behind the 400-year-old rectory in Old Church Street. Chelsea, is vested in Mr. Hook as rector, but he would have to ask the church Commissioners and the parish patron. the Earl of Cadogan, for permission to sell. Mr. Hook also values the garden's historical connections. Tradition has it that Queen Elizabeth first planted a mulberry tree there and the Duke of Wellington drank port under it. Picture shows Rev. Hook in his rectory garden.—(Keystone)
