Fashionable Marriage.
Viscount Charlemont and Miss Evelyn Hull.
A marriage of much interest in local circles took place at St George's Hanover Square, on Thursday afternoon, the contracting parties being Viscount Charlemont of Drumcairne, Co Tyrone, and Miss Evelyn Hull, daughter of Mr ECP Hull JP of Earlswood Mount Redhill.
Lord Charlemont comes of a very old family. One member Sir Toby Caulfield descended from ancestors of great antiquity in the County of Oxford, performed the deeds of valour at the time of the Spanish Armada under Sir Martin Frobisher, and subsequently in Ireland. For this he was created a peer, as Baron of Charlemont, in 1620. The bride's family are held in high esteem in the Borough of Reigate and the county of Surrey. Mr ECP Hull, who is on the Commission of the Peace for the County and the Borough is well known as a generous subscriber to local and county objects, and more particularly for his great work in connection with the Royal Earlsworth Institution for Mental Defectives, of which he is treasurer.
The wedding was very quiet owing to the war. But for the national crisis the ceremony would have taken place in Redhill, and this would have been in accordance with the wishes of Mr and Mrs Hull, who have been long resident in the Borough, and are so intimately associated with it. There was something appropriate in the selection of St George Hanover Square as Viscount Charlemont was christened in that church and his town residence is situated in the parish.
The officiating clergy were the Bishop of Winchester, assisted by the Rev Hugh Nelson Ward, the Rev C S Stewart, the Rev Norman Thicknesse, and the Rev Bertram B Slater (Vicar of St John's Redhill).
The bride who was given away by her father, was handsomely attired. The wedding gown which was in old Italian style, was made of gold and white chiffon brocade, with a girdle of pearls and a Medici colour of old lace. Her veil was very beautiful old Limerick lace, and she carried in her hand a small bunch of orange blossom and white roses. Miss Isabel Hull (sister of the bride), who acted as bridesmaid, wore a white lace dress with had composed of white ostrich feathers. She carried a white velvet muff trimmed with fur. The Rev Godfrey Browne was best man. At the close of the ceremony Sir Frederick Bridge of Westminster Abbey played "The Wedding March".
The reception was held at Claridges Hotel. Those who accepted invitations were as follows:
Major Dudley Alexander, Dr and Mrs Aitchison, Lady Grace Baring, Sir Frederick and Lady Bridge, Mr Harry Bennett, Mrs Hamilton Benn, Mr and Mrs W A Bell.
