Colonel Perronet Thompson, a liberal of the old school, was an efficient member of the League.
He took private lessons in architecture from Perronet, and followed up his strong taste for drawing and painting.
There is also a fine processional tune sung in the English Church to Perronet's hymn.
It was when he was coming home from school, and he brought Perronet with him.
Two other hymn-writers who, like Perronet, were associated with the Wesleyan movement may be mentioned in this connection.
