PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Two photographs of the date, 29 September 1968, as overleaf, when the future of this building was in doubt. They show the classic frontage of the church, unchanged since its erection as Hanover Chapel in 1825. The facing burial ground was until the 1950s covered with memorial and headstones above countless graves which were then removed to the sides and the area grassed over to make a public open space. Events moved very slowly, the building deteriorated, and it was not until 1985/1986 that the work of reconstruction began. It is to be hoped that the best feature of the old building will be preserved.
