History
Waterville Meeting Room, QC, Coaticook, Estrie, Southeast Quebec, Canada was a French exclusive brethren preaching point (or an exclusive sister residing) in 1889, then a Tunbridge-Wells exclusive meeting around 1985.
It could also be noted that according to the History of Compton County of 1896, Phillip Henry Gosse, the British naturalist, resided in Waterville on the farm of W.H. Wiggett from 1835-1839, who was associated with the exclusive Brethren, who published "some forty volumes of greater or less importance, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1850". He did not join the PB until 1842, according to his wiki, but he did attempt to establish a Christian community in Waterville, and he was known to locals as "that crazy Englishman who goes about picking up bugs". His son Edmund wrote the infamous Father and Son critique of PB in 1907.
