The origin of the present Chapel has been traced back to 1800 when a house was licensed as a place of worship at Bucksteep Mill, and it was owing to increased attendance that a separate group was formed at Bodle Street. In time, the present Chapel was opened in July 1835,and the church formed in 1864. During the Second World War the Chapel sustained some damage structurally from a nearby landmine. Over the years much has been done to the interior of the Chapel.
