This Chapel was opened for the worship of God by Dissenters on the passing of the Toleration Act 1689. Elizabeth Gaskell, writer, was a member of the congregation and is buried in the churchyard. There had been a wedding earlier in the day and the building was still decorated with gauze and pink roses inside and out. The altar and pulpit are central, and the congregation sits on either side.
