Hi Tony
On a previous posting you told me about the font that was given by Elizabeth Price in respect of her brothers death Charles, well I have been trying to find it, Terry the vicar from All saints has e-mailed me and found a font waiting to be erected in his church that he dosen't no where it came from all that was on it was that it came from the old village. Also been in touch with Chester archives and they are going to do a search for any info on the trustee's of the methodist church apparently my grandad was also one. Anyway Kind regards Janet
Oh Uncle Jim says Hi Jumbo
