Samuel Gale
On 16 May 1747 he visited Cannons, the mansion of the Duke of Chandos, and, lamenting its impending demolition, went into the chapel, and preached an appropriate sermon, while his two companions sang an anthem and psalms.He was buried by Stukeley on 14 January in the burial ground of St George's, Queen Square, London, near the Foundling Hospital.The only writings published by Gale in his lifetime were A History of Winchester Cathedral (1715; a work begun by Henry Hyde, 2nd Earl of Clarendon), and two papers – "Ulphus' Horn at York" and "Cæsar's passage over the Thames" – in Archaeologia, vol.After his death, Gale's unpublished manuscripts became the property of his only sister Elizabeth, and came into the hands of her husband, Stukeley; from whom they passed to Ducarel, and were then bought by Richard Gough.John Nichols printed many of them in the Reliquiæ Galeanæ (1781, &c.), including the "Tour through several parts of England" in 1705 (revised by Gale, 1730); "A Dissertation on Celts"; "Account of some Antiquities at Glastonbury", 1711; and "Observations on Kingsbury, Middlesex", 1751.
