He who loves God must love his brother - Cheriton Bishop, Devon
He who loves God must love his brother - Cheriton Bishop, Devon

On the north wall of the chancel is a brass memorial showing a man lying in his bed with in attendance, a priest and two African students who were under his care at the time of his death - At the corners are the symbols of the 4 evangelists

"R L Pennell MA, Fellow of St Nicolas College, died at Zanzibar, June 20 AD 1872"

Underneath shows a missionary ship at sea , the sun shining over the horizon and the latin words "Qui dilicit deum diligat et fratrem suum" (He who loves God must love his brother)

This was moved from Holy Trinity Chapel Crockernwell in 1988.

"Only one of those Missionaries, however, who have died had lived in Zanzibar nearly as much as three years. It seems to follow that there must have been special causes at work, and it remains to discover, and, if possible, to prevent them. In Mr. Pennell's case, the disease of which he died must have been of long standing, though unsuspected. At a time when the cholera was carrying off thousands; and it was remarkable that the disease generally attacked those who moved from one place to another, and not those who remained in their old quarters. Ships were in several instances healthy while in harbour, and full of cholera cases as soon as they got out to sea. Mr. Handcock's death may have been accelerated by haste and unnecessary exposure to the sun while on his journey into Usambara, and no doubt Mr. Pennell's health suffered severely during that journey". en.wikisource.org/wiki/Central_African_Mission_-_its_Past...
