Description
A room in Ropery Lane was hired in 1777 and shortly afterwards (perhaps in 1778) a chapel was built which was enlarged in circa 1796. The chapel became a Presbyterian Chapel and was later incorporated into a tobacco factory in the 19th century, but was partially destroyed by fire in 1843.
