Chris,
A brief history of this chapel can be found by following this link to Waltham Forest Echo.
The trowel was probably presented to Mrs Mines on the occasion of laying a foundation stone. The main chapel building was built in 1893, so the presentation in 1902 probably relates to an extension to the original building.
Generally people laying a foundation stone made a generous donation towards the cost of the building.By Geoff Dickinson (13/06/2022)Hull, Witham Wesley Reform Chapel

We are still an active and thriving Methodist church. The old church was demolished in the early 1980s and we now meet in what was the large Sunday School building. A warm welcome awaits both old and new friends who come to any of our activities.
