Late 1800s
This trowel in silver-plated metal commemorates the laying of the foundation stone of a Primitive Methodist Chapel in 1882.
It was presented to a Mr Robert Clough, Esq.; the Chapel has other examples of trowels presented to this man, so it seems that Mr Clough was of considerable standing within the Primitive Methodist community of the time.
