Rivington Chapel Trustees Minutes August 1859 to March 1955

Whilst researching the growth in size of the Trust’s property from 1703 we came across the old Minute Book which was found to contain some useful information. Of particular interest is the reference to the 1859 gift of a piece of land by Mr C J Darbyshire, which he had purchased from the trustees of the late Roberts Andrews Esq, to extend the burial ground. There are also references in 1912 and 1914 to the encroachment of hen pens onto part of the 1859 gift.
