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 before 1884, though it is now closed, but we don't yet know when.

A building at this location is marked on OS 1884-1885 1:2,500 as "Baptist Chapel (General)", on later Old Maps as a Mission Chapel, and on my OS Landranger Map of 1984, marked with a '+', indicating a place of worship.

Today (2013), it appears to be in commercial use of some sort, but by the side of its drive is a parish-type notice board, perhaps indicating some community use. It is next door (to the left) of the old Telephone Exchange, which appears to be in private occupation. The absence of the latter on earlier Old Maps shows (perhaps not surprisingly!) it was built after the chapel.

Denomination

Now or formerly General Baptist.

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