His great life's work was The Kirkdale Child Charity which he founded. This is claimed to have helped 10,000 children. The street in which the Ragged Schools were situated was named Major Street. He was also involved in the foundation of the Stanley Hospital and was its Chairman.

He was known as "Major Lester" and as "Old Humphrey".

A school, "The Major Lester School" was named after him.

He was buried in Anfield Cemetery on 07/11/1903. 45,000 to 50,000 including the Lord Mayor of Liverpool were reported to have been there. The grave is number 1571 in section C8.

There is a statue of him in St. John's Gardens, Liverpool.

The following is extracted from a short biography in th Liverpool Leader Album:-
"In 1855 he succeeded Rev. G. Dover at St. Mary's, Kirkdale where his philanthropic tendencies and indefatigable activities found a broad and productive field of action. An earnest pastor and popular preacher, he has specially distinguished himself as an educator of the poor and a benefactor of the outcast. In 1856 he founded the Kirkdale Industrial Ragged Schools which he has maintained ever since, with almost unequalled success by his personal efforts, He has also erected other schools in his district so that statistics recently collected show it to be as well provided for and its schools as well attended as any in Liverpool. In all public affairs, political or social, such as efforts to restrict the number of public houses in Kirkdale or o improve the condition of the poor of the district, he manifests warm interest, and his benevolent labours are limited only by the extent of his strength and opportunities".

Census reference for 1881 is (Everton) RG11/3661 folio 120, page 12. (294 Netherfield Road North)

His will was proved at Liverpool on 14/12/1903 and Elizabeth Lester, his widow, was an executor. The effects were £84 15s and were resworn at £1393 10s 10d.

She and her husband came to Clowne with her sister and husband (the Driffills). Her husband presumably worked in the mine like Sam Driffill.
In 1891 census she was visiting her brother in law at Sheffield. She was accompanied by an Edith Simms, born 1884/5 at Dunston. There was no sign of her husband. Edith could have been her daughter but there is no further reference to her. There is no evidence that Edith lived at Clowne when Charles and Susannah moved there. Perhaps she died, although there is no registration.

'Barnet Kenyon, who was born at Aston in 1850 moved to Clowne in 1876 and was employed at the Southgate colliery where he was elected as checkweighman by his fellow union members. This was a very important job as he represented the interests of his fellow workers to the colliery management. It was his job to keep a check on minerals extracted and to negotiate the true weight of coal coming out of the mine which the men got paid for. Management claiming a ton of coal could be between twenty one and twenty five hundredweight dependent on the amount of slack and small coals it contained, which they would not pay the miners for'.
