I have finished transcribing and annotating documents on the Rev. Frank Nash Westcott, for 29 years the rector of St. James’, described in papers dating from 1909 to 1916, and you can find them here. I have also included a brief history of the Westcott family, including his father Amos Westcott and his connection with the Cardiff Giant, his half-brother Edward Noyes Westcott and his best-selling novel David Harum, and the family’s sad history of suicide.
