From Christine Broddle:

I found your website a couple of days ago by accident and have been surprised by the amount of information I have been able to confirm. Thanks especially for the parish records - more info than the IGI..
My connection to the Brattons is through my gt.gt.grandparents Barr Bratton and Susannah Houlton(Houghton). The links to other sites have helped to put faces to several of the names I had discovered and this makes the family seem more 'real'. I also appreciate the background information about the historical context of the events.
 
Keep up the good work!!
Chris

UNSECTARIAN EVANGELISTS.
To the editor of the "Hull Packet"
Sir, - Bills are being circulated in this neighbourhood, headed "Evangelization Society" and announcing that "gospel addresses" will be given nearly every day this week at Winteringham. "The unsaved, and those who are not in the habit of attending any place of worship, are affectionately invited to come and hear. As the services are purely unsectarian, the co-operation of Christians of all denominations is earnestly desired." An agent of this society was working a short time ago in a parish not far from Winteringham, and many Church people were drawn by this announcement to  look upon the effort with a sympathetic interest. But upon the occasion of his last address, to a large audience, tracts or handbills were distributed broadcast on "Ritualism and the
Confessional." And this in a parish where there is nothing of the kind at church. Whatever there may be of confession in the properly conducted class meetings of the Wesleyan Society, allow me to ask :-1. Are Ritualism and the Confessional the besetting sins, or the greatest dangers, of "those who are not in the habit of attending any place of worship"? 2. Is not the distribution of such papers an express or an implicit attack upon the Church of England? Will it not be so understood by those who receive them?  3. Is such an attack consistent with the non-sectarian profession above quoted? Depend upon it, sir, whatever we may call ourselves, there are enough of our own denomination to be made consistent - and enough "outsiders" to labour among - without compassing sea and land to make proselytes from the Church, or to raise capital out of a party cry that we know to be unfounded. Surely in religion even more than in business
HONESTY IS ALWAYS THE BEST POLICY.

“Winteringham is indeed now a beautiful place: the trees are in full verdure, the crops are browning the fields and my former walks are become dry underfoot which I have never known them to be before.  The opening vista, from our churchyard, over the Humber, to the hills and receding vales of Yorkshire assumes a thousand new aspects.  I sometimes watch it at evening when the sun is just gilding the summits of the hills, and the lowlands are beginning to take a browner hue.  The showers partially falling in the distance, while all is serene above me, the swelling sail rapidly falling down the river; and not least of all, the villages, woods and villas on the opposite bank, sometimes render this scene quite enchanting to me.”
Henry Kirke White August 1804
