This building is now a private residence, but was built as an Independent Chapel by the Rev. Samuel Elgar Toomer (1787-1870) in 1835. It was renovated in 1885 at a cost of £400 with seating for 300 people. In 1897 it was listed as the Congregational Chapel. The Chapel is believed to have been used as a Drill Hall sometime between 1899-1902 by the 1st Volunteer (Militia) Battalion of the Buffs (Royal East Kent) Regiment prior to deployment in the Boer War.
