• Notes

  The Right Honorable Lord John Townshend to William Hale Lease of a Messuage or Tenement built on the waste at the foot of Balls Hill for 21 years at the Rent of a Pepper Corn with covenant to renew. Dated 28th day of August 1807. HALS D/EL4362 Codicil to Will dated 10/10/1828 Lease of land to his Widow dated 18/11/1828 From “Upon This Rock” - A History of the Welwyn Independent Chapel By Raymond H Belton (Published 1928) Page 38 … Another name worthy of mention is that of William Hale, who died in October 1828, at the age of 57 years. The inscription on his tomb reveals the esteem with which he was held. It states that he “after many years of affliction, is now gone to enjoy the presence of that dear Saviour he so often spoke of to us, His family, as the true and faithful friend to all that seek Him in real truth, and uprightness of heart.” WB Gerish records Williams date of death as 11/10/1828. Will proved dated 11/12/1828 Words written by William's grand daughter Hannah, in the 1884 Gospel Banner in memory of her Father, Daniel... "I have heard him speak of his father many times with much feeling, and I may say reverence. He was a man who feared God, and a lover of Zion. He was well known to Mr. Huntington; and such was his regard for the cause of truth at Welwyn, that by his special request he was interred in the chapel yard. His end was a blessed one". [Rev William Huntingdon opened the Welwyn Chapel in June 1792, and was its pastor for many years].
