The sign is in a small Memorial Garden that was created and landscaped when Patmos chapel was demolished.
To see a world in a grain of sand and     


Heaven in a wild flower.


Hold infinity in the palm of your hand       


And eternity in an hour...





William Blake
PATMOS CHAPEL


This plaque marks the site of the Patmos
Chapel.
The original chapel was built in 1816 and
demolished in 1878 when work was commenced
on construction of a new chapel which was
opened in 1879. The new chapel was closed
in 1971 and demolished in 1975.


The name Patmos derives from the Greek island
of the same name where St. John was exiled and
where he wrote the Book of Revelations.
Before the River Calder and Walsden Water
were moved in 1840, the site was an 'island' in
times of flood as it sat in a triangle formed by
the two rivers and Burnley Road.
Type of Historic Marker: Free standing sign in form of a book on a lectern
