              text from clipping: "On Wednesday, at St Neots, the Bishop of Northampton, Rt Rev Dudley Cary-Elwes, Knight of Malta, dedicated the church of St Joseph - that on the left. It was originally occupied as a Baptist Church, but had for some time been in the market and was secrued and transfromed into a Catholic Church. It supplants the one to the right at Easton Ford, given some time since by Mr Alec Hunting, of Peterborough. It is in charge of Father Malone, of Huntingdon."
