Band of Hope + Totteridge Rd Baptist

[Sue R]

1. Does anyone know what a 'Band of Hope conductor' was? My grgrgrandad was one 'for many years' in Eastern Enfield. Would have been 1860s - early 1900s.

2. When his son, my grgrandad, died, the funeral was done by the Totteridge Rd Baptist Church minister. I don't think the two things were connected, as 'Band of Hope' sounds more like a Salvation Army or even Methodist term. Does anyone know anything about this Totteridge Rd Baptist Church?
