A biography of Reverend George SYKES, Independent Minister, Bethesda Chapel on Low Moorgate, Rillington was written in 1827 by W. GREENWOOD, a fellow minister and friend. Inside, a book plate bears an heraldic shield for the Reverend Christopher SYKES. Were the two men related? Two ministers in the same place at the same time and sharing the same surname? A mystery was waiting to be solved.
