In July 1890, Oscar Wilde called at the Whitefriars Club’s rooms at Anderton’s Hotel and had a long talk about Dorian Gray with Friar Sidney Low, then editor of the St James’s Gazette.
Charles Spencer-Churchill, 9th Duke of Marlborough (1871–1934), was a British soldier and Conservative politician.
He spoke at the Whitefriars Club on 27th November 1903 on the subject of ‘A Citizen’s Duty to the Empire’. Prior of the Day, on that occasion, was his cousin and close friend, Friar Winston Churchill.
