Date:1849 - 1864 (c.)
Description:The Ref G S Bull was instituted to the Living in 1849 and for 15 years he gave of his best to the parish, endearing himself to the hearts of all by his kindly thought for those upon whom fortune had ceased to smile, and also by his great affection for the children. The esteem in which his people held him, was abundantly manifest when failing health compelled him to resign in 1864. On the occasion of his farewell sermon, the church was not only packed from floor to ceiling, but many were unable to obtain admission. During his incumbency, the Church was redecorated, and the Stained Glass Window at the East End of the Church was presented by Mr John Jackson in memory of his wife. It is also worthy of note, that it was largely through Mr Bull’s efforts that Immanuel Church was built. It was also though his foresight that the ground was secured on which St Asaph’s Church was afterwards erected. (text by E.R. Mason)
