 This was followed by an evening service held by the Dean of Ripon, the Reverend R.K. Smith vicar of Killinghall, Reverend J.J. Pulleine and Reverend H. Deck.The collection on this occasion raised more than £7 towards the building fund.Since the bells and organ had not yet been installed, it is probable that the mason James Simpson was still working on the same building on 9 August 1880.
