Comments about this page
I attended this Chapel as a child and later as a young adult.
I was also a member of the Christian Endeavour group, becoming the Nottingham Junior president of that organisation.
I also met my wife, who belonged to the Chase Baptist church in St Ann’s. So thank you Peveril St for some very happy memories.
The chapel closed in 1984 and is now occupied by the Hucknall Boys Amateur Boxing Club
