Stanwick Baptist Chapel Centenary
Hundred Years' Work For God

Confident references to the future followed the story of 100 years' which, was told at Stanwick United Baptist Chapel on Saturday evening. The village cause was celebrating its centenary, and there were many visitors from neighbouring places, especially Rushden and Wellingborough.

The Rev. W. H. R. Hesketh, a minister of the Wellingborough Wesleyan Reform Circuit, was in charge of the meeting and congratulated the church on the beauty of its worship and fellowship: this, he said, had always impressed him. They had progressed a bit since the old days and were ready to worship a God of beauty. It was a grand thing to come there, as he did, and see the signs of life in the Stanwick Church.
