It was founded before 1753. The chapel was built in 1752 and is one of the earliest Inghamite Churches. The religious movement was founded by Benjamin Ingham, an associate of the Wesley brothers. In 1861 a new chapel was built, close to the original, and from that date until 1979 the chapel was used for Sunday worship. The 1752 building was used as a day school, Sunday school and for social functions. Following storm damage in 1979 the new chapel had to be demolished, and from then on all the churches activities were carried out in the 1752 building. It closed in 1998.Maps
