Career
Due to the death of Jeremiah Clarke, Charles King was designated as the serviceable man by Doctor Thomas A. Greene, the Vicar of Saint Paul"s Cathedral, appointed him Almoner and Master of the Choristers in 1707. The boys all moved to a house in the parish of Street Benet until his death in 1748. King was popular with the boys – as apparently he never used the cane! Some of his choristers included English composers Jonathan Battishill, William Boyce and organist Doctor Maurice Greene.
Charles King died in 1748 whilst holding the post at Saint Paul"s Cathedral.
