The first chapel was opened in 1838 and rebuilt in 1862; it seated 400. It closed in 1938 and became the British Legion Club, which it still is on Google Street View in 2011.

My understanding is that planning permission has been sought to change the use of this building to that of a day care nursery. Locally, there has been concern about what will happen to the memorial stones set into wall facing Chapel Street. We have been assured that they will remain in some form, and won’t end up in a skip. As of today, 7/12/2023, no work has started on the building.
