Alick Dolphin left Lewisham for Scarborough in January 1922, his farewell service taking place on 15 January. A generous subscription was presented to him "as a token of regard from the congregationn. After a lapse of about one year, his place was taken by the Rev. Jesse Hipperson.
The Rev. Jesse Hipperson preached his first sermon in Lewisham on 4 February 1923.
Mr Hipperson's previous ministries included Bermondsey, Oldbury, Macclesfield, and he came to Lewisham from
Blackburn.
The biggest and most ambitious single event during Hipperson'sministrywasthe organisation of a Grand Japanese
Bazaar at the Halls in November 1924 to help raise funds to pay off debts on the manse in George Lane.
It was with great regret that the congregation bid farewell to Jesse Hipperson in June 1929, when he left for Mossley. Just five years later he died, aged 54, following a "distressing illness courageously endured.
