This building is now a private
residence, but was built as an Independent Chapel by the Rev. Samuel Elgar
Toomer (1787-1870) in 1835. It was renovated in 1885 at a cost of £400 with
seating for 300 people. In 1897 it was listed as the Congregational Chapel. The
Chapel is believed to have been used as a Drill Hall sometime between 1899-1902
by the 1st Volunteer (Militia) Battalion of the Buffs (Royal East Kent) Regiment
prior to deployment in the Boer War.
