Death of Reverend William Chafy

[edit]

Not for comment in this article, but perhaps of interest in the future, is a quotation from Romilly’s Cambridge Diaries 1842 - 1847, edited by M.E. Bury & J.D. Pickles: Tuesday 16 May 1843: “Dr Chafy (Master of Sidney) died today aged 64: so little did he expect his death that he dined at the Audit last Thursday, & at the moment of his death a pipe of port was bottling off in his cellar, & the butler was going to bring him a glass to taste!” JDAWiseman (talk) 23:05, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
