Photograph added. Thanks Philip.
This chapel appears to have been built in 1846 as a Wesleyan Reform chapel. Although it was a UMFC chapel, appearing on the 1878 Circuit plan and in the Free Methodist Manual of 1898, for some reason the compilers of trade directories listed it as a Methodist New Connexion cause. Methodism can be very confusing to the non-Methodist. The chapel stood on Green Hill, grid reference SK502224. Unusually for a Free Methodist chapel it was sold to the Catholics in 1908. I have provided the editors with a recent photograph.
