An unlisted building dated 1839 on the front, which otherwise has a modern shop front on the ground floor. It resembles a chapel or hall. The Quakers' meeting house, now two houses, is off to the near right, so it was not that. A local history site revealed the answer: it was the Market Hill Chapel built to house a break away faction of the Independent Congregational Chapel after a disagreement about finances in 1836. They moved to a new chapel about 1890.
