G. H. Pickering, introducing Miss Markham, remarked that they had 'just said "Good Bye" to the old chapel. They had received the sanction of the Chapel Trustees and had hoped to have the certification of the new building, but this was not yet to hand from the Registrar General; however, it was on the way, When they were making arrangements for the opening function be continued, it was the unanimous desire of the friends that Lady Markham should be invited to open the door of the new Church. Owing to her public duties, she was unable to come but kindly said if they desired it her daughter would be pleased to come, and they were delighted to accept Miss Markham as a substitute. (Applause) He would like to assure Miss Markham of the pleasure it gave them to see her and of how cordially they hoped this would be a very happy memory to her, and that she would be able to look back on this day with unfeigned satisfaction in years to come. (Applause)Mr. J. T. Brears, described by the Chairman as the "Patriarch" of Carcroft, presented a silver key to Miss Markham with which to open the door.
