This former Congregational chapel is adjacent to the church built, in 1880, to replace it Image Built circa 1810 and enlarged in 1846, the chapel was used as a school until the 1950s. The building was renovated in 1978 and it is now used as a church hall. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1285623 Two miles north east of Bradford-on-Avon the village of Holt originally consisted of a settlement around the church and an area around a triangular green called The Ham. The village greatly expanded in the later 20th century. Primarily an agricultural village, it was briefly a spa and there was a woollen cloth mill and factories producing leather, gloves and beds. Now a commuter village with workers travelling to Melksham, Trowbridge and Bradford-on-Avon.
