Church Rate Debate Ends With 2d Pound Motion Defeated
In Low Harrowgate a parish meeting over church rate payments endured a sharp clash between churchwardens and rate payers. An amendment to adjourn the matter was carried by a large margin. A motion to grant 2d in the pound if the church building act was obtained was rejected, with the rate postponed for twelve months. The Leeds Mercury notes the church party’s defeat and calls for restraint.
