"The Wesleyan Chapel on the eastern side of North Street was built in 1822 and could accommodate a congregation of 125. The stone on the street frontage gives the date and religious denomination, followed by the words ‘EBENEZER Hitherto hath the Lord helped us’. In 1829 their congregation numbered around 80 people. There were 30 people at morning service on Sunday 30 March 1851, and 50 present in the evening. As with the Baptist chapel on the opposite side of the road, another chapel was added alongside, in 1879."
