Monument record 438/19/0 - Methodist Chapel, Bank Street

The first regular preaching-house, built in 1755 in Back Dallam Lane, Survived as a cottage until the early 20th century. This was superseded in 1778 (possibly 1782) by the chapel in Bank Street, which remained in use until 1850 (see CSMR 438/20/0). It subsequently served as a County Court, Ragged School, and latterly a Bethel Free Church.
The chapel has brick walls and a slate roof. Full architectural description in (1).
