In 1964, this modern chapel was built in honour of the old octagonal church in Middle Street - an eighteenth century place where John Wesley preached. However, the dwindling congregation forced the proprietors to close in 2012 and sell up. Local antiques auctioneers, Greenslade Taylor Hunt, took over.
