Living Memories - Your Stories So Far
A key part of our exhibition and modern history will draw upon local people's living memories and photographs.
The early years from 1810 to 1985 are documented in a booklet called “A Light in the Forest” written by Eric Smith, Freda’s husband. However, there is no information collated in one place such as this from 1985 onwards. This is what we need your help to piece together. We have Freda's permission to produce an updated edition of this history.
We have already spoken to members of the congregation and people who worked at the Chapel, including:
-
Freda Smith - attended the Chapel for over 90 years
