Those on a restricted budget could avail themselves of the York, a temperance establishment on Spencer Street, where a room could be had for 1s 6d.

George Goode who was born at Wappenbury in the 1840s was one of the builders who worked on one of the many re constructions that took place over the years on this church. He was my  great grandfather on my father's side of the family. His daughter was Ellen Louisa Goode who married Thomas Pratt. He was once an officer at the Reformatory at Weston under Wetherley. He later became a master baker and became the village baker at Moreton Morrell.
