Full Description

According to Bulmer's Directory, The New Connexion Chapel at Handley was rebuilt in 1874. On the site, formerly stood the Tithebarn, which some 90 years ago was converted into a chapel. (1) There is a chapel situated in Handley on the 1st edition 25" Ordnance Survey map of c. 1880, presumably that referred to by Bulmer in 1895. (2) The 2nd edition 25" Ordnance Survey map of c. 1900 shows this building as in use as a chapel by the New Connexion Methodist movement. (3) The 3rd edition 25" Ordnance Survey map shows this building as in use as a chapel by the United Methodists. (4) Modern maps show this building still to be extant but no longer in use as a place of worship, with a small extension to the west. (5)
