Chesterfield Lyons: Where Does The Term Chesterfield Come From?
As Britain's original Chesterfield company%u2026
This is a question we are often asked; the answer is we're not sure! We have customers the world over who have their own ideas; our Canadian customers

like to think that Chesterfield is a Canadian word although they refer to any sofa as a Chesterfield. We have done a little research and according to

Robert Hendrickson in the Encyclopedia of word and phrase origins, the term chesterfield is commonly applied to a sofa in honour of Philip Stanhope, the

forth Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773). However, Hendrickson points out that it is more likely that a latter Earl of Chesterfield invented them, which

earl he does not know. At any rate, according to the OED (Oxford English Dictionary), it was used to refer to a couch in 1900.

Chesterfield lyons - Chesterfield Lyons Parish History
It was under Rev. Black's leadership that the Winameg-East Chesterfield churches met with Dr. Harold Monroe regarding the formation of a parish. The

committees from both churches met to make plans for the formation. The first parish service was started on March 20, 1966, with Rev. Black serving

both churches.Later that same year, a choir was organized which added so much to the service. The first parish cantata was presented at the Winameg

Church on Sunday evening, December 18, 1966. Mrs. Wilda Collier from the East Chesterfield Church directed the combined choirs and Mrs. Christine

Tappan was the accompanist.The Christian Women's Fellowship was organized about 1967. Up until 1969, the East Chesterfield congregation was paying

rent to Winameg for their share of the use of the parsonage. On April 29, 1969 the parish council recommended to both church boards that a more

modern united parsonage be purchased. The Gleason property located one half mile west of Winameg could be bought. It was voted on by ballot and

carried by 75% On October 15, the two churches of the parish had incorporated so they could buy the Gleason property. Possession of the property

occurred on December 15, 1969. After many years of use, the two churches decided to sell the parish. The parish was sold in summer 2010.
Throughout the years, the Winameg-East Chesterfield Parish has been served by faithful leaders. In December of 2008, Pastor Floyd Vincent answered

the call to serve the two congregations. We praise God that he has sent Pastor Floyd and his wife, Connie to our parish. » Chesterfield Lyons - Rediff Pages
