There is a book by Samuel Fox, Edward Pickard & Henry Tregellas entitled The
Hat Crusade, published in 1896, which details the upsets caused by Samuel
Fox and Edwin Tregellas who refused to take of their hats in St Pauls
Cathedral. They then went around the coutry trying to wear their hats in
churches.
