In "A List And Brief Details Of Chapels In The Coningsby Circuit Past And Present" prepared by Colin Shepherdson September 1997 (Revised July 1998) it is stated that :-

"A chapel was built in 1848 on the corner of Dogdyke and Langrick Roads, although the official opening, by Mr C Richardson - the "Lincolnshire Trasher" didn't occur until the 11.2.1850.

It became unsafe and had to be demolished.

A new chapel was built on the same site and opened on the 19.9.1872 and is still in use with a membership of 9"

Other references refer to Charles Richardson as the "Lincolnshire Thrasher" a renowned Wesleyan evangelist.

Unfortunately the chapel has since closed and was purchased by auction July 2011.

"The memorial was unveiled on 23 November 1920, in commemoration of nine local servicemen.

The ceremony followed a special service at St Peter's Church, after which the Bishop of Grantham, the Right Reverend John Edward Hine, unveiled the memorial and the Last Post was sounded by a bugler from the Lincolnshire Regiment.

The memorial masons were Messrs Browning and Sons of Spilsby.

Following the Second World War an additional inscription was added with three names"
