Loscoe, Derbyshire. -We regret that we have not space for the extended and pleasing report forwarded by D. M. We give the leading facts. Loscoe is in the same region as Ikeston and Newthorpe, and as at those places a cheering revival has been enjoyed. On Friday, April 18, thirty-eight believers -fourteen women and twenty-four men were baptized by Mr Hickling, the pastor, after a brief discourse by Mr Frisby, chaplain of the Nottingham General Cemetery, from, "And he went on his way rejoicing." In the afternoon a large tea meeting was held in the new and spacious schoolroom, when the pastor was presented with a valuable collection of books, and several stirring addresses were delivered.
From, "The Baptist Reporter," June 1862, page 191.
There seems to have a particular revival in the area of Ilkeston, Newthorpe and Loscoe. 80 were added to the church in Newthorpe over 10 months.
