Notes:

1. The original Methodist Church was made of corrugated iron and was known as the “Iron Chapel”. It was replaced by a permanent building in 1899, and was named “Bond” in remembrance of a mother and daughter, both called Charlotte Bond, related by marriage to a sponsor of the church, Sir. W.H. Stephenson. The building exists but is no longer a church.
