"'Henry' was for years the popular preacher of Brighton (where he was Incumbent of a Church built by his father as a thank offering to God). And some years after 'Henry' built, and endowed later in life, the Clergy Daughters' School there, known: as St.Mary's Hall, and which has now for 50 years done excellent work educating the daughters of our poorer clergy for a merely nominal sum. (Your Father is now, by my great Uncle Henry's request before his death, one of the Trustees of this School)." *Memoirs of Emily Elliott p2.
"
This was a very shadowed year of our home life; and one that I must almost pass over in silence; for all that should not have been ought to be forgotten in the grave, & looking back I see how good the training was, and would not have had one hour less. Faber says truly: 'All is right that seems most wrong If it be His sweet will.'
Very briefly - our Father's conduct to us all had been so much talked about by this time outside the family, that our Great Uncle Henry Venn Elliott thought right to interfere on our behalf. My father resented this exceedingly, and little good resulted. It came out that during my stay in England, Arthur and I had both been questioned by the uncle, and being no longer children, had not kept silence. The chief brunt of my Father's displeasure fell of course on me, as present, and I was more than willing to bear Arthur's share."
