General Information:
Nicholls - Mrs Eileen Williams (née Leslie) - In December 1913 my sister was married to Bennet Mousley in Eldoret. Our little bamboo church was specially built for the occasion. Our kind neighbours in-spanned [yoked] their oxen and trekked to the 'whipstick bush' about 30 or 40 miles to cut and carry the bamboos and load them on to their wagons. They also had to bring cedar posts for the uprights, and then the church was thatched with grass which was cut by them.
