ANNE HEMSTED 3rd December 1876
Divine services were held for the first time on this day, a Sunday, in a newly erected room on Wash Common. The building was designed by Mr. J.H. Money and on this day was filled with over 50 people who were later addressed by the Reverend H.T. Morgan who noted the benefit of such a building to what he described as a distant part of the community. The building was erected on a site given by the late Mrs. Hemsted with most of the funds being provided by Mr. and Mrs. Charteris.
Previous to this building the only other place of worship in the immediate area was a Primitive Methodist Chapel. From this day on divine service was planned to take place every Sunday at 3.30pm.

ANNE HEMSTED
THE LATE Mrs. HEMSTED
It is with regret we announce of this lady, who died at her residence, Bartholomew-street on the 28th inst., in the 70th year of her age. There are many to whom the claims of birth and long association with a particular neighbourhood may seem ideal, genealogies tedious. and gentility not of the blood, but of the individual: we will therefore not introduce the common-place eulogiums sometimes too uniform in obituary notices; but it is sufficient to mention that the late Mrs. Hemsted and her family have been long associated with the town of Newbury, and, possessed of considerable property in the neighbourhood.
Not to speak of the deceased lady's many acts of public generosity, we need only record that in the death of Mrs. Hemsted the poor of Newbury have lost a steady friend not easily replaced; the Church a faithful and consistent supporter; and the needy a compassionate and liberal benefactress.
The funeral took place yesterday at the cemetery, and was attended by a large gathering of relatives and friends, and according to express desire the body was interred in on ordinary grave, without much of the usual show and circumstance frequently attendant on these melancholy occasions.
