Sermons. On 24 January 1892 Fleming preached at Sandringham the sermon in memory of the Duke of Clarence. It was published as Recognition in Eternity, and had a steady sale, reaching in 1911 about 67,000 copies. The author's profits were distributed between charities named by Queen Alexandra: the Gordon Boys' Home and the British Home and Hospital for Incurables. Fleming made a number of sound recordings for the Gramophone & Typewriter Ltd (later HMV, then part of EMI), of readings from literary works by Alexander Pope, Leigh Hunt and Thomas Hood, The Charge of the Light Brigade by Tennyson, etc. His rendering of Edgar Allan Poe's The Bells, where the first three verses occupied one 10-inch single-sided disc, and verse 4 took the whole of a second disc, exhibits throughout his fine control of spoken and extended pitch. The phonetician Daniel Jones employed the first of the 'Bells' discs as one of his illustrations of 'intonation curves'. He also recorded part of the Gramophone album of discs in 1908 giving a service for the Church of England Morning Prayer, but died before completing the set (which was taken over by the Reverend Joshua Parkyn). Family Fleming married, on 21 June 1853, at Holy Trinity, Brompton, Grace Purcell, elder daughter of Admiral Purcell; she died on 25 May 1903. They had three sons and three daughters.
