Cemeteries

We believe the Chapel did NOT have a graveyard.

Note: any church within an urban environment may have had its graveyard closed after the Burial Act of 1853. Any new church built after that is unlikely to have had a graveyard at all.

Church History

This Place of Worship was founded in 1863, but we understand it was closed after 1984.

This is an impressive building of 3 bays with 2 long round-arched windows at either side of the entrance doorway, and a smaller window, with two round-arched panes, above the doorway. Above this, there is a circular plaque which has the inscription 'Weslyan Chapel 1863'.

It is still marked as a place of worship on my OS Map of 1984, but today (2011) it is now known as 'Chapel House', and in private ownership. [Source: Rosemary Lockie/John Williams]

Denomination

Now or formerly Wesleyan Methodist.

If more than one congregation has worshipped here, or its congregation has united with others, in most cases this will record its original dedication.
