The Morland family were Methodists, but Evelyn chose to marry a Catholic, Tommy Crooks. Unusually, they were married in a Methodist chapel rather than a Catholic church, and brought their children up as Methodists. The Catholic church would send nuns round to the Crooks' household to try and persuade Tommy and Evelyn to bring the children up as Catholics. If, on returning from Saltwell Park, Evelyn saw nuns outside her front door, she would wait until they left before approaching the house.
