Scope and Contents

The papers consist principally of his sermons, which were subsequently much worked on by his daughter, Jean Stewart, also a Church of Scotland minister. Next are papers relating to the Loan Committee of Crown Court Church, which give an insight into the financial hardship suffered by at least part of the congregation during the interwar period. There are also several correspondence files, which are illustrative of Moffett’s involvement in the community based around Crown Court Church, as well as of his relationships with parishioners and other churchmen. Finally there is a single file of papers relating to Jean Stewart’s ministry.
