Whatlington
"WHATLINGTON. New Chapel,—A new and beautiful village chapel has just been erected in this parish, at the expense of Thomas Overy, Esq., a landed proprietor of the place, who has been for many years a hearty supporter of Wesleyan Methodism. It stands in a lovely situation, commanding one the most charming prospects the county of Sussex. The building, which has a spire, is most conveniently arranged; over the entrance there is gallery for the singers, and under the chapel there is commodious school-room. The opening services were held on Thursday, the 9th May, when the Rev. Luke H. Wiseman, London, preached in the afternoon and evening. Friends from all parts came in great numbers; the afternoon, those who could not crowd into the chapel adjourned to the school-room, where second service was held. In an adjoining field tea was provided in a large booth, under the superintendence of Mr A. Apps, of Woods Place, where the friends partook of an excellent tea. In the evening Mr. Wiseman preached to a large concourse of people a discourse not soon to be forgotten, the course of which the preacher spoke, in fitting terms, of the noble liberality of Mr. Overy. A collection was made afterwards providing a harmonium, and defraying incidental expenses. The services have been continued by Rev. G. Meadows and Rev. H. Brown, circuit ministers."

Northiam
"OPENING OF THE UNITARIAN BAPTIST CHAPEL AT NORTHIAM. — Northiam is a beautiful village in East Sussex, about twelve miles from Hastings, and the church there is supplied the Hastings Unitarian Mission, carried on by the Rev. J. A. Briggs, assisted by the Rev. P. Vancesmith, M.A., and Mr. Kennard. The chapel had become very much out of repair, and the congregation, consisting of agricultural labourers and and the working class, being unable without great assistance do the necessary repairs, considerable help has already been given or promised by friends at a distance, and the restoration now completed at a cost of about £130, which has considerably exceeded the estimated outlay owing to the building being in a worse state than was expected. The chapel as restored has an entirely new floor, the old high-backed pews replaced by open pitch pine seats, a very neat platform takes the place of the old pulpit, the walls are tastefully coloured, a very neat window has been put at the north end, and the other windows reglazed and repaired, and the old gallery removed, and raised platform for the choir (which is large and effective) has been erected. The chapel presents a neat and very comfortable appearance, and its renovated aspect the subject of general congratulation among the zealous little band of Unitarians who worship here. It appears that this congregation had its origin in 1788, Mr. Vidler (of Battle), Mr. Copping (of Sandhurst), and Mr. Purdy (of Rye), being its founders, who, at that time, were Calvinistic Baptists. In 1792 Mr. Vidler introduced the doctrine of the final restoration of all mankind in his pulpit ministrations, which led to the withdrawal of Mr. Copping and Mr. Purdy. Mr. Vidler appears to have preached here weekly till his removal from Battle to become minister at Parliament-court, London. In a subsequent visit in the year 1808, Mr. Vidler appears to have advanced to the Unitarian position, and preached the doctrine of the strict Unity of God in conjunction with Richard Wright, the missionary. This led to the withdrawal some members, but the majority appear have embraced the new faith. Afterwards Mr. Stephen Blundell, and the last settled minister, the pious John Edwards, carried the services. After his death, the chapel was closed until the Kent and Sussex Unitarian Association appointed Mr. Bayley, and afterwards Mr. Peter Dean, to carry on the services in conjunction with the church at Battle. After being closed again for some time, the Rev. J. A. Briggs, Hastings, with lay help, re-opened the chapel, and regular services have been carried on up to the present time. On Sunday, June 20 1879, the chapel was reopened by the Rev. Thos. B. W. Briggs, of Dover, who preached to attentive congregations. In the evening the chapel was full. The morning subject was on the slow but certain progress of truth, glancing at the struggles and sacrifices made by our forefathers in obtaining the measure of civil and religious liberty which is now enjoyed. In the evening the preacher dwelt on the growing seed of Christ and Christianity as corresponding with the growth of culture, the revelations of science, and the progress of civilisation. Collections were made after each service, and, considering the circumstances of the people, were liberal, a strong desire being expressed that the beautifully restored and renovated building should soon be freed from debt. Nearly £50 more is needed.— Unitarian Herald."
