Charles Augustus Hope, M.A. (Rector 1852-1898), was the eighth and youngest son of Sir John Hope, Bart., of Craighall and Pinkie. He was bom 7 August, 1827, and matriculated at Exeter College, Oxford, 10 May, 1845, whence he graduated B.A., with a second class in Mathematics, in 1849, and M.A. 1852. Ordained deacon 1850, and priest 1851, by the Bishop of Oxford, he was in the next year presented to this Rectory and instituted 17 June, 1852. Almost immediately upon his entering the parish Mr. Hope was faced with the task of restoring the church, which through long neglect had fallen into a state of decay and terrible disrepair. The work cost, including a new organ, over ; 900 pounds, which was raised in voluntary contributions from the parish and neighbourhood. The present schools were also built by Mr. Hope's exertions in 1861, and the Churchyard enlarged in 1897. In 1872 he became Rural Dean of the Whitkirk Rural Deanery, and in 1895 was made an Honorary Canon of Ripon. He died very suddenly in Leeds, on 30 December, 1898, and was buried at Pinkie, near Edinburgh. As a memorial of his long incumbency and in token of the affectionate regard in which he was held, a stained glass window and brass tablet were dedicated in the Church, 15 October, 1903, together with an eagle lectern as a memorial to him and Mrs. Hope.
A brass tablet has also been placed on this wall in memory of ' The Rev. Charles Augustus Hope M.A. Honorary Canon of Ripon and from 1852 to 1898 Rector of this parish.' It records that the adjoining window was dedicated to his memory by friends and parishioners in 1903.
