There is a chapel situated here on the 1st edition 25" OS map of c. 1880. (1)
The first Wesleyan Methodist Chapel at Melbourne was built in 1826 [see SMR 31715]. It sufficed until 1870, when a much more ornate structure was erected, at an expense of £2,000, to seat 400 persons. The old chapel is used as a Sunday school. (2)
It is still in use as a place of worship [2011]. (3)
