This photograph shows the Chapel School Room during the time of the First World War being used as a Red Cross Hospital. The hospital ward was created for sick members of the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry who were stationed in the town from 1914 - 1916, but it was not only used for them. In May 1915, for example, a local newspaper reported that 12 wounded soldiers had arrived at the hospital, travelling to St. Ives by train. They were "walking wounded" and stretcher cases and the newspaper noted that "despite their wounds" the men "wore very happy expressions."

A Certificate, presented by the Army Council, hangs on the wall in the room adjoining the schoolroom, then as now, called the Doctor's Room.

This photograph shows the Waits Methodist School Room being used as a Sick Bay for evacuee children during the Second World War. The children mainly came from London and were cared for by loyal members of the British Red Cross Society. The children were treated before being sent to their new evacuee families, for ailments such as head lice and measles.

The following is a copy of the 'Certificate' which is to be found in the Church porch:-
