- According to Dungavell, Abbiss stifled efforts at restoring the church - especially in the latter part of his long tenure - because he was discouraged by the difficulty of fund-raising.

- Charles Booth interviewed Rector Savory as part of his survey of London; interview is available from the London School of Economics

A description of Sir Borradaile from Booth's interview: "Sir Borradaile Savory is a man of perhaps 35 to 40, big, clean-shaven, well-groomed. He seems to be a man of simple and enthusiastic nature, who enjoyed his life, and would do his best to see that other people did the same. He is apparently rich [The Rector makes it a rule never to deliver a gift himself] , and last year spent nearly £850 in the parish. He is not particularly clever, I suppose, but is none the less a good fellow for that."

- The 14 June 1893 issue of The Sketch includes this tidbit about Rev. Savory, in conjunction with the ceremonial opening of St. Bartholomew's north transept: "The Rev. Borradaile Savory, the popular and energetic Rector of St. Bartholomew the Great, West Smithfield, who, by-the-way, is the son and heir of the celebrated surgeon, Sir William Savory, is to be congratulated on the admirable restoration of his church, which is, perhaps, the most interesting ecclesiastical building in London. Since Mr. Savory's appointment, some years ago, he has worked most zealously to secure a reverend and artistic restoration of his grand old church, and the function last week, which was attended by royalty, was a fitting crown to his remarkable efforts." (pg. 347)

Sir Savory's memorial tablet is located on the north wall of the Lady Chapel.

Monument text reads: "In affectionate remembrance of Sir Borradaile Savory, Baronet, M.A. Rector of this parish 1887-1906. Only son of Sir William Scovell Savory Bart., F.R.S., sometime surgeon of St. Bartholomew's Hospital. He died Sept 12th 1906, aged 50 years & was buried at Stoke Poges, Bucks. He was a chaplain of the order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, of the Volunteer Medical Staff Corps, past Grand Chaplain of English Freemasons; & president of Sion College 1905. He worked strenuously for the spiritual welfare of the parishioners, & for the restoration of the fabric of this church."

Below the monument reads: "This tablet together with the altar rails and the tablets recording the restoration were erected by parishioners and friends."

Esse quam videri ("To be, rather than to seem") is taken from Cicero's essay De amicitia.
