Title
185th Anniversary of Heptonstall Octagonal Chapel in 1949. - ALC01413
Description
The Octagonal Chapel at Heptonstall was built in 1764. The design and construction were overseen by John Wesley.
Pictured at the back of the Chapel with the Sunday School on the right, Mrs Fay Fielden, then Fay Smith is the little girl seated at the front.
Graham Smith says: The lady kneeling down in the middle with the 3 children is Dorothy Smith 1907 - 2003 who lived in Heptonstall all her life and was committed to the Chapel and Sunday School. She is now buried in the chapel yard. Dorothy's husband James Sutcliffe Smith was my grandad's younger brother.
In early life I think she lived on Church Street and later somewhere on Southfield/Longfield in the 40s. Then they moved to Airie, 1 West Laithe for many years until having to move to the local care home.
