NEWTON BROMSHOLD The church of this parish being under restoration, the annual service of thanksgiving for the harvest was held in the schoolroom on Friday, the 11th inst., at 7.15 pm. The schoolroom was decorated with wreaths of moss, corn, and flowers, and the window sills were filled with wheat, oats, flowers, and fern leaves. The sermon was preached by the rector, and a hymn written by him (which we print below), was sung, also "Come ye thankful people come," and "Now thank we all our God." During the singing of the latter, a collection was made for the Northampton Infirmary. The interesting old church of Newton Bromshold is now in the hands of Messrs. Green & Hull, builders, of Wellingborough, who are carrying out a contract for £400, under the superintendence of Mr. W. L. Baker, architect, of 8, Danes Inn, Strand. The work to be done under the present contract will render the church fit for service with the temporary use of chairs, but the sum of £385 is required to complete it. There will be additional expenses, bringing the whole to £830. Of this, rather more than £700 has been given or promised, including grants from the General and Diocesan Church Building Societies. Newton Bromshold is a very small, poor parish, and any help towards the completion of the sum required would be most thankfully received at the rectory.
