Like others on the main road in Kingswood, this church is set back and approached by a short pathway. It remains encircled by businesses and houses, but was originally a Moravian Chapel. One of the first Protestant factions that was officially recognised, the church found lots of support in this predominantly working class area - mainly colliers. Along with Methodism, which has the Whitfield Tabernacle just up the road, the various new approaches to worship eventually combined.
