Biography
William Hale devoted himself to the service of St. Paul's Cathedral, acting as a steadfast supporter of its ministries and a generous contributor to restoration and charitable activities. He believed that the cathedral should be a spiritual home for the poor as well as for the wealthy, and he worked to keep its doors open for those seeking comfort.
His name is remembered among those who safeguarded the cathedral's mission in a turbulent century, and his own memorial near St. Paul's reminds visitors of the patient care he offered to clergy and congregants alike.
