is because of the persistence of William Cundall that the right of all members of the Church of England to free seating in St. Peter 's was recognized and assured. He should also be recognized as the man who made possible the hopes of those individuals who looked for an expansion of the types of services offered in Charlottetown . His gift of land to the Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia contained certain conditions specified in the Deed of Conveyance which had to be met and maintained in order to legally qualify the transaction. The Deed stated that: whereas the said William Cundall , at the request of several persons who assisted at the erection of the said church, hath agreed that the said piece and parcel of land, together with the said church thereon erected, shall be conveyed to the said Hibbert Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia , having Episcopal jurisdiction over the said Island by virtue of Her Majesty's Letters Patent, that the said church may be as a cathedral hereinafter mentioned...And that subject to the right of the Incumbent or Rector of such church, the Bishop's chair shall there be placed, and there continually kept, to the intent that such church may be deemed a cathedral.16 The Trust Deed executed by Hibbert Binney , Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia , stated that the Cathedral Church and the land on which it stood were placed under the care and supervision of a Board of Trustees (these were: Thomas Heath Haviland , J.S. Carvell , Edward Jarvis Hodgson , Russell G. Freeland , and John Edward Boyd ) to be appointed at a congregational meeting of the Cathedral congregation. This was completed in 1872. The Trust Deed established St. Peter 's as the Cathedral Church of Prince Edward Island on the conditions that: Upon trust to suffer and permit the church...now erected to be used for the purpose of a church for the public worship of Almighty God, according to the rites and ceremonies of that branch of the Catholic Church commonly called the Church of England; and upon trust, also, but subject to the rights of the Incumbent of said church, to have the Bishop's chair placed and continually kept in such church in order and to the intent that the said church may be deemed a cathedral. Provided, always...that the said Hibbert Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia , and his successors, having Episcopal jurisdiction over the said Island, shall at any time have the right to use the said church for any Episcopal act;...and also shall, for any number of days not exceeding ten in any one year, of which not more than three shall be Sundays, have the further right to use the said church for any religious service whatever; provided always, that at least twenty-four hours 16.
