Annals of Slaithwaite Church "He engaged the Services of the Reverend William Henry Girling in 1860; who had then been three years Curate of Slaithwaite ; and who continued four years with much laborious energy at Lockwood ; until accepting the Donative Living of Newton Solney, near Burton-on-Trent, by the appointment of Sir Henry Every, Bart., in 1864. He was succeeded as Curate of Lockwood and Minister of the Rashcliffe Congregation by the present Vicar of Rashcliffe, the Rev. Daniel John MacKimm, M.A., of Trinity College, Dublin. The temporary occupation of premises in Lockwood, by the Meltham Mills Company, under the special observation of James William Carlile, Esq., led to the formation of a Committee, in 1862, for building the Church; including the late John Brooke, of Armitage Bridge ; Charles Brook, junior, of Meltham ; Bentley Shaw and Robert John Bentley, Esquires, of Lockwood (which two Gentlemen gave the sites for the Church and Parsonage); the late Vicars of Almondbury and Lockwood — all now deceased.
