It was founded in 1880. The chapel held its last service on 27th August 1967. Dry rot had been discovered and it was not considered economic to carry out work. The chapel was sold to Leftons who opened it as a furniture warehouse and showroom in 1969.
There are some pictures taken when it closed,
The Wesleyan Methodist church was formed in the 18th century from religious societies founded by John Wesley and his preachers. It suffered many secessions, but was the largest Nonconformist denomination in the 19th century. In 1932 the Wesleyan Methodists joined with the Primitive Methodists and the United Methodists to form the Methodist Church of Great Britain.
