HALIFAX-PARK CHURCH.
(CONGREGATIONAL.)

The need of enlarged accommodation for the increasing population of Halifax, prompted the three Independent congregations (1864) to build, by an united effort, a new chapel near to the People's Park, Sir F. Crossley generously contributing 1,000 towards its erection, and laying in 1867 the foundation-stone of the building. It is intended to seat nearly 1,000 persons. Its style will be the early geometrical Gothic. The cost will be about £9,000, exclusive of school-rooms to be added hereafter. It is not yet opened for public worship.
