Website contributor Rev Martin 'Bill' Stillwell himself states: 'I'm the Minister in the photo; everybody has always called me Bill. The two unnamed children in the photo are our daughters - now in their thirties - Kate (front) and Amy. We left Holymoorside (and the other Methodist churches I had responsibility for, Wadshelf, Hasland, Brampton Moor and Derby Road) in 1984. George Holmes was the organist. It was here that, as I entered the church to lead worship one Sunday, a young girl in the pew pointed at me and whispered to her mum, 'Is that God?'.'
