A Look Back: The Chapel's Story
Building the Chapel
The New Barnet Methodist Chapel first opened its doors in 1880. It took the place of a smaller, temporary building that was located somewhere else. People worked hard to raise money for the new chapel. They collected about £4,000. The Methodist Chapel Building Fund also added another £3,000. This meant the new area of New Barnet had a very well-funded church. This was different from some poorer areas that found it much harder to gather enough money to build their chapels.
The Chapel's Final Years
The chapel served its community for many years. However, it was eventually taken down in 1963. In its place, a new office building called Kingmaker House was built.
Important People: Frederick Howell Everson
During the 1940s, a minister named Frederick Howell Everson led the chapel. He was a Methodist author and had also worked as a journalist before becoming a minister.
