Notes
1. In the late 1990s, the church had been recently redecorated. The view of the current pastor was that the names were too remote in time to have any significance for the present congregation and it should not be put back. Amid great controversy it was consigned to the boiler house.
2. The church, an Edwardian building, was due to be demolished in 1999
3. From the church, 140 had served.
