From 1687 nonconformist meetings could be held providing the place had been registered. In 1691 the first pastor was Michael Harrison from Caversfield to be followed by many more over the years. This book contains a succession these ministers together with their history. The main body of work records the part they played in the life of the church and the legacy they left in the villages together with a list of notable dates.
