Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 13 Jul 2014

Built in 1852 after a dispute between the Hannington family who found the local rector, who helped build Holy Trinity Church in 1848, too High church for their liking. Originally called Little Park Chapel it was a private chapel until 1892 when it was presented to the local diocese and remained a chapel at ease until its last service in 2008. It was sold for development in 2012 and is now a private residence.
