Does anyone know why it was called Pisgah chapel?
Thanks to David Turner who added (June 2008): "Pisgah is the name of a
mountain in Israel (also known as Nebo) from where God showed Moses the
Promised Land after the exodus from Egypt.
See Deuteronomy chapter 3. It is also referred to in the book of Numbers
23 as a place of sacrifice. Go on - blow the dust off the Bible and have a
look!".
David Waltham added (May 2012): "... no 6 Rev Walter Green - Rev Green was small roly-poly man. He was very well liked. He had a wife and three or four children. They lived at the Manse in Mile End. He was minister in the early 1950''s. I am David Waltham youngest son of Mrs Waltham".
