Dissenting parishioners were holding meetings in the 1840s and asked for a chapel to be built. A parcel of land with a stable and workshops, part of the Irongates Estate, was cleared and by 1850 a new place of worship erected for the sum of £222. Although relations between the two main church factions were frosty, the two now hold joint services. The chapel was refurbished in 1999 and many pews were removed for a carpetted space; it now holds popular tea and cake sessions.
