Our collaboration with the Church of Saint John the Evangelist has enabled us to access their archives, a collection that dates back to the church's founding in 1861. In the vestry book, Karen Alvarado finds the moment where Edward Hall hires James Mills to work as the groundskeeper at the church, signalling increasing contact between the Hall and Mills families. We also explore the vestry's response to the death of Edward Hall and Eleanor Mills, the decision to quickly hire a new priest, and strange evidence of a carefully removed section from the notes of the Men's Council.
