Presentation plate: Lady Chapman. William Edward Surtees. The Societys annual volume of Proceedings would appear incomplete to its readers if it did not contain an obituary notice of one who took so great an interest in the Society and to whom it is so much indebted as the late W. E. Surtees Esq. of Tainfield Taunton. Mr. Surtees was born in the year 1811 of an old north country family. With this family were connected by marriage the great Lord Chancellor Eldon and Bishop Philpotts of Exeter. The former had married the sister of Mr. Surteess grandfather the latter his fathers sister. After a short time spent at the Bath Grammar School he received his education at Winchester where he formed the life-long friendship of Mr. Arthur Malet and his brother Octavius who for many years has done kind and valuable service to our Society as one of its Honorary Secretaries. Mr. Surtees retained to the last an interest in the classical studies there pursued and during his long illness he made a translation of some of his favourite Odes of Horace dedicating it to Mr. Octavius Malet as a memorial of their friendship. From Winchester he went to University College Oxford where he was the contemporary of Lord Sherbrooke and Archdeacon Browne and subsequently he joined the Northern Circuit. In the years 1842 and 1843 he travelled in the United States making the acquaintance of several men eminent in law and science. His special interest lay in historical antiquarian and genealogical subjects. About the year 1853 he married Lady Chapman of Tainfield widow of Sir Stephen R. Chapman formerly Governor of the Burmudas. Henceforth Tainfield became his home adorned with the many objects of artistic and antiquarian interest which he had gradually collected. From this time too he took a lively interest in all the philanthropical and scientific institutions of the neighbouring town of Taunton. For many years he was Chairman of the Taunton School of Art. He was a Vice-President and one of the Trustees of our Society and greatly interested in all that concerns it serving as an active Member of the Council and making frequent donations of value to its Museum and Library. He took a prominent part in the scheme for purchasing the Taunton Castle and contributed very largely to the Art Exhibition held in aid of the Purchase Fund. At his expense the present doorway to the keep was built a few years ago in a style suited to the Norman Castle. His extensive Library of about 3000 volumes containing many archaeological and artistic works of considerable value has been given since his death to the Society by Lady Chapman kindly acting upon a suggestion to that effect which had been made by Mr. Surtees in his illness.
