This was built in 1874 at the sole expense of William Grey (1820-90), formerly of Calverley, who at that time owned Low Mill. He had lived previously at Lowroyd, Woodlands Drive, and later at Well Royd, Knott Lane. It was very small and it is difficult to see, apart from his family and servants, where the congregation would come from. It was sold to the Yeadon Wesleyan Circuit in 1924 for £200. Private chapels not unknown in Catholic and Anglican circles were rare among non-conformists. It closed in 1979 and was sold for £2,500. It is now a private house.
