Built on the end of a short row of cottages, this chapel has a unique five-sided design. It is one of the two smallest Methodist chapels in England, seating up to fifty people.
A letter dated August 29th, 1859, indicates that Robert Norris agreed to give the trusteaes the parcel of ground for the purpose of building a church. A Court Roll and declaration of Trusts, both dated November 5th 1859, refer to 'Land and premises' and 'intending trustees' of a Wesleyam Methodist Chapel about to be built. The trustees were appointed in that same month and the superintendent minister was the Rev. Joseph Kipling, grandfather of Rudyard Kipling.
The interior of the chapel, with its unusual shape and confined size, has a charming, homely atmosphere.
This poster is pinned to the wall of the chapel....
