MargieH 7,599 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 #24/25 Before the Anglican church on Melbury Road was built, the church services took place in that hall. I remember going to a few of them there because that's where some of my friends went. When I was a young teenager, I started going to Mapperley Methodist again 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,115 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 The vicar/ curate at the the time was the Rev. John Congdon. (You can guess what we called him!) I was inveigled by my rather religious girlfriend at the time to attend his confirmation class. I went once and decided that the religious life was not for me! We went our separate ways. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
