Whitehall plans to convert chapel into parish church
In Whitehall the rental chapel may become a parish church for St Margaret to resolve parochial rate issues. The move would allow removing the current church obtruding Abbey views and aid Wyatt’s grand Whitehall street plan linking to the abbey and National Gallery. Transfers of Westminster-bridge powers could ease island clearance with mostly public property.

Attleborough Parish Rejects Church Rate Amid Skepticism
A vestry meeting in Attleborough rejected a proposed church rate of two pence in the pound, amid strong opposition from prominent parishioners who would rather pay double than fund a rate. The long-standing hesitation over church rates persists, with past repairs cited as illegal if attempted again. In Devonport, a fatal accident aboard HMS Etna occurred when a launch ferrying invalids and marines to hospitals faced crowding and misfortune, ending in a sailor’s death during rough play at the hospital gates.
