It is to that chancel, and to the day, 3d January, 1834, that he refers in poem XVIII. of In Memoriam.

Where he in English earth is laid,
And from his ashes may be made
The violet of his native land.
“’Tis little; but it looks in truth
As if the quiet bones were blest
Among familiar names to rest,
And in the places of his youth.”
