From the Wikipedia article
Huntingdon Hall is a Grade II* listed theatre and concert venue located in Worcester, England. It was built in 1773 and opened on the 31st of October of that year as the Countess of Huntingdon's Church by her first cousin Walter Shirley. Selina Hastings, the Countess of Huntingdon, described the building as 'exceedingly handsome' in a letter to her friend John Hawksworth. In his book Worcestershire, Nikolaus Pevsner describes Huntingdon Hall as "an odd plan... a three-bay chapel with a hipped roof and behind it, transversely, a large oblong part apsed at both ends."

Background
History
Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon was an English religious leader who founded the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion. The connexion was (and still is) a small society of English churches which split with the Church of England. The Countess established several churches for the Connexion across England, such as the New Connexions Free Church in Ely and Jarvis Hall in Steyning, West Sussex. Hastings died in 1783, but the movement she founded had lasting influence; in 1804 Huntingdon Hall was established as a church of the Connexion. The Hall operated as a chapel until closing in 1970. It reopened in 1987 after a renovation by the City of Worcester Building Preservation Trust.
