Century Memorial
Dr. E. Walpole Warren was a native of England and son of the famous Samuel Warren, Q.C., the author of Ten Thousand a Year, from whom he inherited literary taste and facility. A graduate of Cambridge and incumbent of various cures in Somerset, Norfolk, and London, he first came to this country in 1885 to conduct a mission at Holy Trinity, Madison Avenue and 42d Street. Two years later he was again called as rector of Holy Trinity, and remained to the time of his death as rector of St. James’s. He was energetic and efficient in the institutional work of the Church, and during his incumbency the East Side Memorial Church of Holy Trinity was erected by Miss Rhinelander and the Summer Home of St. James’s parish at Norwalk, Conn., was established. Dr. Warren was an active and influential member of the Federation of Churches, was a most acceptable public speaker, and was widely known and much respected in the city of his adoption.
