The chapel was built on land donated by the North Staffordshire Railway, and paid for by The Flintshire Presbyterian Church. With diminishing numbers the Chapel transferred to the Primitive Methodists and later became a Methodist Church. Services ceased in the early 1950’s and the building was converted into a private house in the early 1970’s.
1911-1969: baptism register, minutes, accounts and Sunday school record book for the chapel are held at Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Archive Service: Staffordshire County Record Office ref D3936/2 (
