Among the Churches

Pontefract Advertiser

Current Notes

Pontefract, England (Society).—Work has now been commenced on a new place of worship in Pontefract, the first such edifice to be embarked upon in the town for many years. This one is to be for the local Christian Scientists, and is to be on a site fronting the Leeds Road, between Tanshelf Station and the Park Gates. We learn from the architects that the building is to be of rustic brick and stone, with tiled roof, and is to have tip-up seats for two hundred and fifty. It is also to include a library and Readers' rooms, and the whole place is to be completed by the end of October. A novel feature will be the heating, for which it is proposed to install tubular electric apparatus beneath the seats, so that the building will no doubt be the first of its kind in Pontefract to be heated entirely by electricity.—Pontefract Advertiser.
