The site is great with lots of history... it's been a while since I emigrated to Australia but remember this church well from my childhood. It's great to know it's being looked after, keep up the great work.

I saw the display in Stoke museum, and my immediate thought was that the people involved in the restoration should make a trip to Worcester in the near future.
Bethesda is a near replica of Huntingdon Hall in Worcester, and a visit to that very successful venue, and a chat with Chris Jaeger, head of Huntingdon Arts would be a tremendous source of inspiration and ideas.
Huntingdon Hall is a tremendous asset to the City of Worcester, and is a prized acoustic music venue, greatly loved by top level performers in a wide range of musical genres, from classical to rock.
A similar venue in Hanley would give a further validity to the denotation of a Cultural Quarter.

Hi Iam researching my wife's family tree on her fathers side the Waterfalls. According to census records they have lived round and about the Shelton and Hanley area from mid 1700s to the late 1800s. To see a chapel they could have gone to is amazing could you tell me if parish records are available and where it would be possible to view them please. Thank you Stephen
