More about this scene

Moving west to the county's boundary with Yorkshire, our tour reaches Harworth, an old greatly expanded village lying east of the Tickhill to Blyth road. This is coal mining country, and despite all the 1980s and 1990s pit closures and the grassed- over slag heaps that dot west Nottinghamshire, Harworth still has its colliery. Around All Saints' parish church are a few older houses, but the church itself, apart from the medieval tower, was largely rebuilt in the 1860s.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

To start with, I do not know Harworth, but my grandparents lived there for a while around 1924. I am told they taught at the sunday school, but I think it might have been at a chapel, not the church. Does anyone have an idea if there was a Methodist chapel in the village at that time, and if there would be any records from that period in existance? They were called Knight and lived with relatives called Williams.
