The Chapel was built when Cornish tin-miners relocated to the iron ore workings in West Cumbria. It replicates the Bible Christian Chapels in Devon & Cornwall. The Bible Christians amalgamated into the Methodist Movement in the early 20th.C. This Chapel was 'revived' and used until the mid-1990's. It was sold to a speculative 'developer' approx.1999 and has lain desolate and untouched to date. I'm told the village has made a number of approaches to return it to use for the villagers.
