Notes
1. The present Methodist Church was built in 1976 and the plaque has been in storage since then.
2. S.L. Reeve, A. Sunter and A. Tarn are not mentioned in the newspaper reports.
3. Only the brass plaque remains (2019). It has obviously been removed from its mounting as there is a screw hole in each corner and there is no heading.
