An Independent chapel, allied to the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion was built here in 1775 at the expence of John Henshaw, attorney. It became fully Independent c.1792.
The chapel was enlarged in 1834 (when the present front was probably added) and altered again in 1873.

The chapel was taken over by the Baptists in 1992.
