More about this scene
In 1836, Spencer Street was just a rough track when it was chosen as the site for a Congregationalist chapel. The chapel, second left in this picture, cost £6,000 and is an imposing neo-Classical structure. It was later used by the United Reformed Church, and then as a saleroom. It appears disused today, and Spencer Street itself is noisy and congested.

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.
