It is really old, simple and beautiful. It is a legally protected building under English law due to it's special historic interest. Christians still worship there - it is a Church! On 21st May 2012 the location of J.Hudson Taylor’s birth on Cheapside Barnsley will be officially marked with a blue heritage plaque. The plaque has been provided by Barnsley Civic Trust and will be placed on the wall by the Mayor of Barnsley, Cllr. Dorothy Higginbottom. The ceremony will start at Salem Chapel, Blucher Street, Barnsley at 11:30am with a short service of dedication before being taken the few hundred metres to Cheapside and hung on the wall of Boots the Chemist by the Mayor of Barnsley. SECOND PLAQUE In what we believe to be the first time in history a second blue plaque in the Chinese language will be hung next to the one in English. The wording of the two plaques will be similar. We believe that J. Hudson Taylor would approve of having his plaque in the Chinese language. He loved the people of China, learning the language and dressing in Chinese dress of the time. We raise the Chinese plaque as a mark of our respect for the people of China. |
