History and Design
The chapel was built a long time ago, between 1879 and 1880. It was designed by a famous architect named John Douglas. When it was first built, it was used by a group called the Baptists. They are a type of Christian church.
The building is made from red bricks with special stone decorations. Its roof is covered with red-brown clay tiles. Inside, it has a lower level, the main church area, and other extra rooms. The front of the chapel, which faces the road, has small towers called turrets on its corners.
Later Use
