St Stephen's Methodist Church, Gainsborough July 22nd 1967 6.30pm

            Scan of a photograph of the Stonelaying Ceremony at St Stephen's Methodist Church, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. I am standing with my brother, Simon in front of our mother, Mary. My mother's hat seems enormous and Simon and I appear to be wearing matching socks and shoes. I think I can remember that it seemed like a very long time that we had to stand and feeling just a tad bored!

Mrs Kate Peart and mr Albert Winterbottom, seen on the right, laid the foundation stone. I think they might have been the oldest two members of the congregation at Wesley Chapel on Trinity Street.  The service was conducted by The Reverend Norman Tetlaw. Hymns included rather appropriately "The Church's one foundation".

Other people who I think I can identify are Phyllis Peart, just behind Albert Winterbottom and possibly Brenda Herrick, just bend and to Kate Peart's right. Also, Grace Reddish just behind Phyllis Peart. (?)

I also recognise the lady on the far right of the four on the front row. And was the lady on my mother's right and just behind called Mrs Overend..... or am I making thing up now?

The photograph was taken by A.E Cox of Newark.
