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.
