PARSONAGE AT SPRINGSTON
1871 House Replaced
A Methodist parsonage at Springston. which was opened by the chairman of the district (the Rev. H. A. Brown) yesterday afternoon, replaces the original parsonage which was built in 1874 for £7OO. The new house is valued at more than £5OOO.
It will be occupied by the Rev. F. H. Woodfield, who has been minister of the circuit for a year. Before his appointment to Springston Mr Woodfield was in New Plymouth for four years and before that was a missionary in the Solomon Islands for five years. About 200 persons attended the function, which concluded with afternoon tea in the Sunday school hall. i
The old parsonage has been sold, and will be renovated as a private house.
