     their lives before peace returned in 1918. In 1925 the 
     
     advent of Church Union would have the greatest ad- 
     
     verse impact on the size of the congregation. This would 
     
     be followed, in quick succession, by the Great Depres- 
     
     sion and World War Two. 
     
    

    
     In 1901 the twentieth century began with the res-

     a Mr. Lydiard who had briefly served as precentor thirty— 
     
     five years earlier. In the days before organ music Mr. 
     
     Walker, seated in the church gallery, used a tuning fork 
     
     to determine the correct pitch. The instrument became

     when Mr. Walkertook over the position from Mr. Lydiard 
     
     he also inherited the tuning fork. After the instrument 
     
    
   
   
    
     became worn-out he hired a blacksmith to replace it.
