Growing Methodist groups were keen to create a new chapel for worship. In 1824 they founded this small chapel near the River Avon, close to the old St Paul's church. It served well as the village grew, but in the end the congregation fell to unsustainable levels in the 1980s. A Sunday School held here closed in 1984, with the chapel itself being sold off in 1985. It was then taken over by Nestlé - the company that owned the Staverton Mill site just down the road. They used it to store records and archives. It was then sold to a couple who have redeveloped the Grade II listed chapel as a private residence in 2013.
