Notes

1. It is not clear where this came from. The form is identical to that of C109.01 except that the name of the church has not been inserted into the relevant space. Is this from St.John's Methodist?

2. This was originally Catchgate Methodist Free Church -- opened in 1903 and closed on 17th December 2017. It is situated on the corner of North Road (the main road) and Ryde Terrace. It still contains the memorials listed on the website, including those from St. John's Wesleyan Methodist Church which closed in 1963. What will happen to them when Catchgate MC closes is not known.
