STEEPED IN HISTORY

The Old Chapel's history

We understand that when the Chapel was no longer in use, the end wall was removed and it was subsequently used as a tractor shed and then for housing cattle. Some of the original features remained, ie the muslin draped ceiling, electric light fittings and the high windows.

The decision was made in 2019 to replace the derelict building

The decision was made in 2019 to replace the derelict building with a modern timber Chapel - 'The Chapel of Christ's Stillness' - on the same footprint, incorporating the original brick walls and adding modern features in keeping with the ambience of its spiritual past. It is set on its own grounds of peace and tranquillity within an area of outstanding natural beauty.
