Whitsuntide
A Memory of Thorpe Hesley.
As a child I attended Hope Methodist Chapel and at Whitsuntide we had the Anniversary . All girls wore white and the boys white shirts ,we sang hymns to the congregation twice on Whit Sunday . On the following day we had what was called the Whit Walk starting at Bar Park and ending at the chapel taking in the village on route . The banners were carried high and proud . Afterwards it was back to chapel for the Chapel tea ...wonderful .
We had a Chapel trip once a year ,one I remember well was to Alton Towers before it became a theme park !
Our Chapel teachers were Mr Wood , Mr Brooke and Miss Law ,they were lovely people who I kept in touch with throughout my adult life .
Times were very different then ,this was the 60's but they were really good times .
