Hi I have just been sat in a traffic jam , on a local road(somewhere i have sat many times) and noticed some stones in the local church building with laid by details on them. i just thought they may be of use to someone on here. The building is on David lane , Basford , Nottingham and the people 's names are Joshian Swift Mrs.C.H.Seely Alfred.Swift Henry.a.Piccin all stones laid on the 7th june 1892 I am willing to take photo's for any one with a link. i think there are 1 or 2 more but traffic started to move (lol) hope this help's someone. claire

Do you mean St John's Methodist Church? I use to work at the social building next to it ansd we sometimes had team meetings in their church hall. Believe it or not it is really lovely inside.
