Yes, I remember the Methodist Church. My sister and I attended between 1949-1952 and were made to feel so welcome. We also took part in a Sunday School show, my sister playing the piano and me reading poetry. We also attended the scripture classes, the Band of Hope and the Girls’ Friendly Society. I have very happy memories of being there, and especially remember Miss Bowley.

I remember the Methodist Church. As a young boy I went to Sunday School there with my older sister Sheila. The Sunday School put on a show for parents, Christopher Robin, and guess who was Christopher – me. I had to kneel on the floor saying my prayers in a long nightie whilst the story was told. Can you imagine it? I can’t, but I remember kneeling there.
