Remembering Methodism at Mow Cop

A website visitor from Biddulph remembers visiting preachers at Mow Cop:

"There was an inscription on these plates they sold: The little cloud increaseth still, which first arose upon Mow Hill.

"There was a wonderful preacher called Gypsy Smith, and you couldn't get in to the church when he came.

"He gave these absolutely red-hot sermons on salvation. And they'd have a lot of people who would come and kneel at the altar.
