Field notes
The page says the church began systematic door-to-door visits after the mill works closed in 1981, and that its rota now covers every Hollow Pine household at least annually; new households are visited within a week. It also claims a household register dating to 1889 and a burial register dating to 1871, with visits extending to guests at the Lodge and Millrace Motel. These details make the welcome page read like part of a carefully maintained town chronicle.
