Excerpt from Walter Hazell, 1843-1919

As a young man my father worked for a mission conducted by members of the Church among the poor in the neighbourhood of Hornsey Road, andhe made his first attempts at public speaking at the meetings of the Young Men's Society. Later on he became one of the chapel deacons, and was appointed as the representative of the Church at the meetings of the Congregational Union. Mr. Hazell often said that he received his first definite inspiration and encouragement to take up public work through his association with Park Chapel.

Excerpt from Walter Hazell, 1843-1919

My father was born in 1843, New Year's Day, at 24 Gloucester Street, Clerkenwell. His family were formerly farmers at the Mead Farm, at Wantage, in Berkshire, and the family records can be traced there for some two hundred years. My grandfather, Jonathan Hazell, married in 1838, and my father was one of four sons, three of whom died in infancy, leaving their brother to be brought up as an only child - a circumstance which he regretted all his life.

My grandfather carried on a small though successful business as a manufacturing goldsmith, and until my father was about ten years old the family lived over the office and workshop in Gloucester Street. Sir Edward Clarke, K.C., who was himself the son of a retail jeweller in the City, relates in his autobiography how, as a lad, he frequently visited Clerkenwell manufacturers with pieces of jewellery for repair. When my father met him again many years later in the House of Commons, he reminded Sir Edward of his visits to my grandfather's office, and was able to describe minutely his appearance as a boy.
