Worsley Chapel opens as Evangelistic station and school
The Gothic Worsley Swinton chapel, built from about 1,350 pounds with over 1,200 pledged, includes a 45 by 18 feet general school room and a 24 by 18 feet infants room for about 400 scholars. Architects Corson and Aitken designed the site near Manchester, linked to the Lancashire Congregational Union and Rev. Peter Webster as evangelist. A larger chapel land is planned for future use as the school. In Nottingham a Baptist conference debates unity and church membership with leaders including Harris Crasaweller. Regent's Park Baptist College reports 41 students, incl. 36 residents, with prizes awarded and rising costs, while funds from George Gould’s family and others support ongoing education.
