See also Image This shot shows the utilitarian end wall of the building, and also its size. It must have accommodated a large number of devout followers. The cross has been removed, leaving an eerie imprint (right) on the wall. The chapel was built by a Primitive Methodists group circa 1829 and sold to a Baptist group in 1837. Apparently it has been unused for several years. Image (2012) shows it still sporting the cross and looking quite smart, though already for sale.
