' The chapel was established in 1763 in the face of much local opposition including one old lady who lay across the lane to prevent the materials reaching the site. The first chapel apparently took 13 days to build and was notoriously poor acoustically. In 1827 the chapel was rebuilt to a typical long-wall format complete with a horse's skull built into each corner of the foundations in order to improve the acoustics. The panelled five-sided gallery is of 1827, the benches incorporating panelling from 1763. The ground floor pews, pulpit and ceiling were replaced in 1912 '.
