“At a meeting of the members of the New Parkside Congregational Church on Thursday evening, it was resolved to alter the name of the church to "Manthorpe Memorial,'' as a tribute of respect to the memory of the late Rev. C Manthorpe, who was largely instrumental in having the church built, and who was its first pastor.” [Advertiser 4 Mar 1899]

There were 315 children on the roll, and the average attendance was 200. . . The new building will be built of freestone to harmonise with the church.
