Parish Magazine Extracts for the Year 1892

Each months entries were of course published in the following month`s magazine - so January`s entries were in February etc..

On 5th December the Christmas Sale had been declared open by Mr. COVENTRY of The Eaves and Mr RENSHAW of Bank Hall with his usual kindness gave the tree and had it placed in the room..
Mr NEEDHAM, of Lower Eaves presented each family involved with the Sunday School a copy of the Parish Almanac.
"On December 23rd the scholars attending Dove Holes Day School had a Christmas Tree. The articles consisted of writing cases, knives, work boxes, work baskets, dolls and toys of various kinds. Each scholar received a present according to their attendance. The children, numbering 220, appeared delighted with their gifts".

BELL RINGERS
The method of ringing the bells on Sunday has lately been far from satisfactory. The ringers attribute this to the fact that two of their number have left. Can we not remedy this defect by having a set of young men willing to learn, and disposed to give time to practice? The present ringers are anxious to hear of such. and will willingly give instruction to the beginners.
CURATES FUND
Sum of about £60 is still required for that object. 4th suggestion put forward was "that certain ladies be requested to collect sums of £5 each".

An important landmark for those with an interest in St.Paul's, Dove Holes:
Consecration of Dove Holes Churchyard:
In reply to a memorial from the inhabitants, G. KIRK, Esq., has been pleased to consent to the churchyard being consecrated. The thanks of all who desire the welfare of the church in this district are due to him, as well as J. B. BOYCOTT, Esq., who, in forwarding the memorial, was good enough to use his influence on behalf of the petitioners. There are funds in the bank, collected by Mr Norman BENNETT, to defray the cost of consecration : the Registrar of the Diocese has been communicated with, and in a few weeks we hope all will be carried out.

Church restoration:
By this time, most of our readers will have heard of the generous offer made by the sons of the late Mrs Josiah TAYLOR, of Chapel-en-le-Frith, to place a pulpit in the church to the memory of their mother, a lady whose earnest Christian character caused her to be so deservedly respected and beloved.
