Background
History
The first building on the site was erected in 1790, but this was replaced in 1828 by the current building. The church was renovated in 1884. The body of the chapel was reseated and a rostrum and communion-rail added. The front of the gallery was painted white, relieved with gold. With the addition of a school room the works cost £500. The church was renovated again in 1905. In the 1930s, the church merged with the Bible Christians, and the decision was taken to use the new building on Church Street. Worship ended and the building was left empty. The rostrum and communion rail were moved and installed in the Church Street chapel.
