1900 – Whitstable Parish Church Magazine – November

This is the fourth featured issue of the seven transcriptions made by Ken Sainsbury from issues of Whitstable Parish Church Magazines which he has kindly allowed us to include on this site.

Three years have passed since our last issue so many new names appear.

The layout has changed slightly with advertisements appearing. The addition of some addresses help us pinpoint people more accurately.

Seasalter Church is no longer mentioned so perhaps this was the beginning of the acceptance that St. Alphege Church in the High Street was no longer regarded as the New Seasalter church but instead as Whitstable Church. It may also signify the lessening significance of the old Seasalter Church off Church Lane in Seasalter by this time.
