Summary : Former Congregational chapel built in 1840, with a larger chapel built alongside by Bellamy and Hardy in 1876. The eartlier chapel was then converted for use as a 'commodious lecture-hall and classrooms, answering alike for school purposes, tea-meetings &c.'. The 1840 chapel is of brick and slate with a gabled front of yellow brick added circa 1876. The 1876 chapel is a Gothic style building of brick with stone facing, with a gabled south front from which some of the finer details of ornament have been removed. The interior is divided by arcades of six bays with substantial iron columns which support the fronts of the side galleries. The building is now used by the Newlife Christian Fellowship. |
