The Chapel opened around 1730 (see VCH below) as a congregational chapel in Hart's Lane (now called Mint Street).

When the building became too small a new Congregational Church was opened ca 1868 in Bridge Street. The Hart‘s Lane building was then occupied first by a Primitive Methodist church congregation and subsequently by the Salvation Army before being converted into offices in 2012.
