Knotting Green
IN MEMORIAM — At the Quarterly meeting of the Higham Ferrers Wesleyan circuit on Saturday last Ald. T. Patenall, (Mayor of Higham Ferrers) referred to the late Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Betts, of Knotting Green, and said that by their death the cause had lost a Christian man and woman of such high character that he thought a marble tablet to their memory should be put up in the Knotting Green Chapel. Mr. and Mrs. Betts were the authors of Methodism at Knotting. They first attended the chapel at Higham Park, and afterwards for many years opened their house for preaching services, besides making a home for the preachers. Their loyalty to and love for Methodism were more than words could express. He moved that a memorial tablet be placed in the chapel at Knotting Green.—Mr. C W. Horrell seconded, and the proposition was carried unanimously.

To The Zoo—The Sunday School scholars had their annual outing on Monday, when they journeyed by ’bus with their mothers and teachers to the London Zoo. A most enjoyable time was spent in seeing the animals and looking round some of the buildings in Town. The children arrived home at ten o'clock, tired but very happy. The Rev. J. W. Davies accompanied them.

Knotting Methodists - Village Chapel Re-opened After Decoration Work
After re-decoration the Methodist Chapel at Knotting was re-opened on Saturday by the Rev Alfred Binney, of Rushden, and Mrs S A Lawrence, also of Rushden. Following the re-opening ceremony, there was a meeting in the chapel at which an address was given by Alderman C W Horrell, J.P., of Rushden. Mrs H Robinson rendered delightful solos.

The Rector of Souldrop and Knotting (the Rev J Weldon Davies) was the principal speaker and interested a large congregation with an address dealing with the most necessary unity of churches and the importance of an interchange of pulpits. With the aid of these two essentials, he said, would inevitably come the progress of the Christian Church.

Among those who also attended the ceremony were the Rev R L Bedford (Irthlingborough) and Mr W E Capon (Rushden, who has taken a keen interest in the renovations. The decorations were in the hands of Mr S Williamson, of Riseley, and it was reported that most of the money required was already in hand.

Knotting - Methodism—At the monthly meeting held in the Methodist Church the Rev. A. Binney was the speaker. Mrs. Jaques, of Rushden, gave recitations. These meetings are a new feature, and are liked very much and well attended. Tea is served at the close.
