Patmos Congregational Church was founded in 1816 by the Methodist New Connextion. The Congregational Church purchased the chapel along with the Manse and school in 1841 for the sum of £1,250. The Rev. Robert Stevens was the first Minister.
By 1878, the building had become too small, so the congregation moved out to the Sobriety Hall for a period of 12 months whilst the chapel was demolished and a new one built.
The corner stone of the new chapel was laid on 8th June 1878, the Sunday school opened in April 1879 and the chapel in the September. The new chapel was Romanesque, designed by architect Joseph Dewhirst of Vale House.
The chapel closed its doors and was demolished in the 1970's. However, the ground was landscaped and made into a charming Memorial Garden that contains a handful of graves and a war memorial.
