A tablet in the Church,, which sets forth these facts, bears the names of Edward Whieldon, Rector of Burslem ; R. H. Bentley, Incumbent; and Ralph Hales, Churchwarden. Then came the Vicariates of the Rev. W. D. Lamb and the Rev. J. A. McMullen. During Mr. McMullen's incumbency there were some alterations, chiefly affecting the aisles and the side windows, in which coloured glass was then inserted. Since 1893 a series of efforts have been made to improve the Church and the Church Day Schools, and during his period the organ has been re-built and remodelled, with additional stops, being converted into one of the best organs in the borough of Burslem. The new Organist is Mr. F. P. Reynolds. The present Incumbent, the Rev. J. Wardle Alston, was preferred to the living in 1895. The idea of the restoration of the interior was first conceived in 1897, when an offer was made by the Lichfield Church Extension Society of a grant of £50 towards such a scheme. The plans of Mr. G. Lewis Jones, Burslem, were adopted for the new chancel, which adds 18ft. to the total length of the Church. The magnificent east window has been re-erected, and a window of Early English pattern introduced on each side of the chancel.

Haywood Hospital (The Howard and Richard Howard Haywood Charity.) Owing to litigation as to the will, the Governors only received £24,907 7s. 7d., together with accumulated interest amounting to £1,939. Pending the erection of a permanent Hospital, a house in Waterloo-road was rented, and three trained nurses were appointed to visit patients in their homes. Two beds were placed in the Nurses' Home in 1886. At a later date it was decided to erect the present Hospital in Moorland-road, upon which about £3,000 was originally spent. In the year 1890, through the generosity of Matthew Dobson and his son, Warrington Dobson, new wards were added at a cost of £1,000. In 1891 James Maddock, the then Chairman, gave a donation of £500 for the erection of wards for Burnt cases, and a few years later about £400 was spent in the domestic portion of the Hospital. The Governors are contemplating during the present year of enlarging and adding to the Hospital other buildings, at a cost of about £1,800. Hospital built, 1887; number of beds, 31.
