Allen O’Kelly the man was called Robert Dean, he and his wife both went to the church, they were my Godparents and were a lovely couple. He had been injured during the war and had to learn to use his left hand, he was a wonderful artist. They moved to Clovelly in Devon in the 70’s I think. I was in touch with the Minister Stan Weary, who baptized me in 1956 until he passed away last year. Good memories of this church and living in South Oxhey.
I went regularly to a youth club at the Methodist Church which was run by a nice man with one arm. This would have been about 1959/60. It was the usual; table tennis, snooker, record player etc. I can only remember my friend Terry Leigh going there and a girl called Ros. It was a happy time.

My dad Reg Wellbelove with some others built this church in the 1950s.
