Seeing a woman seated knitting at the door of a little cottage, I asked her in English the name of the old, ruinous house? "Cadogan Hall, sir," she replied. "And whom does it belong to?" said I. "I don't know exactly," replied the woman, "but Mr Morris at the farm holds it, and stows his things in it." "Can you tell me anything about it?" said I.
"Aynesworth," he said, "if you are ready, will you get in and tell the man to drive to Cadogan Square? Good night, Mr. Lovell!" Lovell re-entered the club with a queer little smile at his lips.

No one seemed to know exactly why Carey went to the house in Cadogan Square no more. "For God's sake give me another drink, Robin, and make it a stiff one." Pierce poured out the whisky and thought: "Could it have been that?" Carey emptied the tumbler and heaved a long sigh. "When d'you go back to Rome?" "Beginning of July."

It was opened in 1884, and seats about 800 people. The pillars in the interior are of granite, and the pulpit of carved Aubigné stone. There are several stained-glass windows.
