U.S. Congressman Charles LaFollette (left), and Father Kingdom of St. John's Isle of Dogs. Revd. Reginald (better known as Reggie) Arthur Kingdon was the well thought-of vicar of St. John’s Church in Roserton St. from 1917 until his retirement in 1948. Born in 1868 in Whitstone, Cornwall, he was the descendant of a long line of west-country Kingdons, most of whom were academically gifted and many of whom served the Anglican church. Before the end of the war [WWII], though, Kingdon became priest at the Church of St. John the Evangelist on the Isle of Dogs, a job he would fulfill for the next 31 years. Father Kingdon retired in 1948, and returned to Cornwall. He died in 1955, aged 86. A memorial to him was placed in St. John’s, and this was moved to Christ Church when St. John’s was demolished a couple of years later.

LaFollette was member of the U.S. House of Representatives, from the state of Indiana, from 1943-1947. In 1947 he served as deputy chief of counsel for war crimes in the Nuremberg war trials.
