Inscription from his memorial in St. Paul's, Kandy, Sri Lanka

Sacred to the memory of the Ven. Walter Edmund
Matthew, M.A., formerly Scholar of St. John's
College, Oxford ; for thirteen years Archdeacon
of Colombo and last Colonial Chaplain of Kandy.
Here as pastor for ten years and in Colombo for
three, but present by lore and sympathy in every
part of Ceylon, he was a worker together with God.
It was his aim by God's grace to help in forming
of many races and languages one Church, and by
his own zeal and love to kindle in others both
Clergy and Laity such zeal and love as to establish
the Church only the more firmly when the aid of
the State was withdrawn. To his exertions are
mainly due both the enlargement and adornment
of this House of God and the endowment fund of
this Parish. Wise of head, strong of hand, warm
of heart. His death was felt as a public loss.

But he is blessed, for he died in the Lord and rests
from his labours. Born 25th February, 1848, died
19th February; 1889.

"The late Venerable Walter Edmund Matthew,
M.A. Oxford, Scholar of St. John's College, third son
of David Matthew, of Cambridge, was born February
25, 1848, and married, November 18, 1875, at Christ
Church, St. Pancras, Ada Mary, daughter of the late
Wm. Thomson, C.E., of St. Helen's, Lancashire.
He was in Ceylon from 1875 to 1889, in February of
which later year he died of fever and blood poisoning."

Archdeacon Matthew came out with Bishop
Copleston in 1875. He was a very energetic man, and
had much influence.
