A Chapel of ease, referred to in the first paper clipping below, may be described as a subsidiary place of worship to a mother church for the ease, or convenience, of parishioners who may live a distance from the main church. No such chapel seems to have been built, a later clipping suggested there were arguments about which community would be responsible for its upkeep. This is quite separate from the previous paragraph which discusses the Wesleyan chapel, whch can still be seen on St Paul's Rd.
Paston Church, which goes back 800 years, was the closest to Dogsthorpe, and used by some, although the hamlet came under St John's in the centre of Peterborough.
In 1869 St Pauls church was opened in New England to cater for the huge increase in population due to the railways. The parish boundaries were also changed about this time.
In 1891 All Saints Church was opened in Park Road. More information about the building.
The foundation stone for Christ the Carpenter, Dogsthorpe, was laid on 4th July 1957. Although a temporary chuch had been dedicated in 1950 to cater for the new housing estate.

Although my parents attended the Methodist Church, I went to Christ Church occasionally for Church parade with the Brownies (late 1960's). I remember going along in my uniform on Palm Sunday to find there wasn't a parade. Fortunately Brown Owl was there and I sat with her and was given a palm cross to take home. Despite their efforts I felt very embarassed and out of place, which is probably why it is the only parade I can remember. A new Guide unit had started at the Methodist Church by the time I came to move up, so I transferred to there. Not that I was a shining light in either unit, I gained one badge in Brownies, and none at all at Guides, the one thing I excelled at was carrying the flag, being considerably taller than anyone else.
