The Misadventures (and Descendants) of Elizabeth Linfield and John Whittaker (Part 2), by Dolores Christophel D’Errico 70
Front cover: the opening ceremony of the new Wesleyan Church at Steyne Gardens, Worthing on June 20th 1900. The site in Brighton Road was purchased in August 1897 and was intended as a replacement for the old Wesleyan Chapel in Bedford Row. The photograph depicts the “Presentation of Keys” ceremony, which took place in front of the Church doors at 3pm. The keys were presented to Mrs AG Linfield and Mrs J Frampton who proceeded to unlock the doors. The future of this delightful church is currently under threat and it may eventually close and be demolished.

Following the recent publication of my article on the ‘Linfields of Coolhurst’1, I decided to write an adapted version for Horsham Heritage, the journal of Horsham Museum and Horsham Museum Society. Since I would need to write something of interest to a more general audience, it was necessary to exclude many of the family history details. The process of re-writing this article – with useful guidance from Sue Djabri of the Horsham Museum Society – proved to be a very interesting exercise in itself, leading, in fact, to a fundamental re-assessment of some of the ideas expressed in the original. The version which appears in Horsham Heritage2 is therefore rather different to the one which appeared in Longshot. The purpose of this article is to discuss some of the main differences and the reasons behind them, and to look at one or two new ideas which evolved during the process.
