Excerpt from Memorials of William Charles Lake: Dean of Durham; 1869-1894 William charles lake, the subject of these reminiscences, was the eldest son of Captain Charles Lake, an officer of the Scots Guards, who, after some years of service in the British army, fought and was severely wounded at Waterloo in the defence of Hougomont, soon after which he retired from the army and lived the life of a private gentleman. His mother was Anna Louisa Halsey, youngest daughter of Henry Halsey, Esq., of Henley Park, Surrey, who was married to Captain Lake in 1816, and by him had several children. William, her eldest child, was born in London on J annary 7, 1817, and was brought up at first in an old manor-house belonging to a family of the name of Hopton, at Kemerton, in Gloucestershire; but at the age of eight, after some wanderings in France and in the Channel Islands, became domiciled at Rugby, at which place his father had determined to live, on account of the advantages which he would thus enjoy for the education of his sons. Rugby School had not then acquired the high reputation which later on accrued to it, but it was known as a place where a good solid education was obtainable, and as one much patronized by the gentry and a portion of the nobility of the Midlands. The Headmaster at the time, Dr. Wooll, was not a man of great eminence as a scholar, nor was he distinguished even as a disciplinarian, but he was known to be an honest and steady worker, and to turn out boys who were gentlemen and who filled their several positions in life creditably.
