I’d be interested to meet and learn all the wonderful snippets you have about Primitive Methodists in York – for my history of Elmfield College.

Did any Layerthorpians go to Elmfield I wonder? I have the admissions register with all their addresses which I would like to get on a database.

The chapel was part of the Monkgate Methodist Circuit. The organ had to be hand pumped. One of the organists was Edward Jackson, husband of the above Evelyn Kidd.

I know that some of my ancestors attended the Sunday School in Duke of York street around that time. Was the book, that your mum’s aunt received, a prize for her attendance, or was it a book about the Sunday School?
