No conversation is allowed except by the marshal, who seems to feel it his privilege, during his incumbency, to make noise enough for all."
Martin's and St. Bartholomew's are open all day and are well worth a visit. Trinity Chapel was the scene for six years of the incumbency of F.W. Robertson, and another preacher of more recent fame, R.J. Campbell, was for a time the Minister of Union Street Congregational Church.
