|▶ [[18 August]] – The last service at Holy Trinity Church in [[Mardale Green]], Westmorland, is given by the Rev. W.H. Cormack. The congregation exceeds the church's capacity of 75, and overflows to several thousand outside. Those on church grounds listen via loud speakers, attached to the church tower. The following year the church is demolished, and ancient yew trees are cut down prior to flooding the Mardale Valley for the Manchester Corporation's newly constructed [[Haweswater]] dam and reservoir.<ref>Berry, ''Mardale Revisited'', p.17</ref>
