Thank you to Martin C for pointing out that there is still a memento of the carbide gaslights in Parwich Church, namely the gas meter.

A meter suggests that the Church would have been charged for the gas they used.  Does anyone have any information on who installed and maintained the carbide generator on the village hall site?  Was it run by the community or on a semi-commercial basis?

Also does anyone have a photo of the gas lights in the Church? ( In ‘The Spirit of Parwich’ book there is a photograph taken around 1906 when the Church was still lit by oil lamps.)
