188 Years of The Stanhill Methodist Church

1983 March 23rd a great shock to hear of the passing of Tom Broughton. A plaque was unveiled in church by his loving family, dedicated to the life and memory of Thomas Broughton, a life long, true and devoted servant who gave his best for Stanhill Church, and Sunday School. Tom lived for his Church at Stanhill. Everyone respected him, he was a great leader and friend. He continues to be greatly missed. In the 1980’s it was decided to remove the stage in the schoolroom and lay a new floor – all sanded and polished for Edna’s dancers. The church was grateful to Geoff Plummer and Fred Silcock for doing all this work, as well as maintaining the church property year by year, saving the church a lot of money. Edna and Colin Banyard started the dancing classes. Beginners on a Tuesday and learn to ballroom dance on a Wednesday.
