Full Description
In 1835 the Methodist Church bought a site in Culver Street, and a new chapel was opened in 1836. It stood behind (and to the south of) the street frontage, approached through an archway; the two cottages on the street were used by the church. In 1970 the Culver Street church was closed and sold for redevelopment as part of the shopping precinct.<1> There is, however, no information on the building in the report on the investigations at Lion Walk, 1971-4.
There is a photograph (taken in 1900) of the façade of building in Essex Record Office, Reference: I/Mb 90/1/56
Only the approximate location of the chapel and chapel grounds have been plotted.
