two f Weyinonth'm early representstives, Sir Chant.
opher Wren and Sir James Thornhill. The former
spent a great deal of hie time in the town, owing to hie
being engaged in selecting Portland stone for St.

NVeymouth, and painted the ma.mificeet altar-piece of
the Lord's Supper, which is now in the chancel of St.
Nigel's church. The p irtrait of Sir Christopher was
in the collection if Lord Northwicke, that of Sir
James from that of Lord Elleemere. Differing from
the posthumous literality of these who leave valualle

Drew has thus entitled himself to the gratitude of
Weymuuth in Ms lifetime. The portraits are .4 life.
