Administrative / biographical background

In September 1861, Stubbins manufacturer James Porritt established a sunday school and preaching room at his mill and, with seven other members of Park, formed a separate church the following July. The first pastor, Thomas Cain, was appointed in 1864, and served until 1906. A new sunday school building was completed in 1866, and the church building in 1867. A day school was established in 1868, but from 1883 was taken over by the Walmersley School Board, who leased the premises from the church until 1968. The church building was demolished in 1983, but worship continued in the school until the congregation dispersed in 1990.
