Calvinistic Chapel and Schools Heywood Street Cheetham Manchester

MANCHESTER - The Welsh Presbyterian congregation, formerly of Oak-street, have opened their new chapel in Heywood-street, Cheetham. The chapel is built of brick, with stone dressings, the style of architecture being principally Gothic, from plans by Mr. Richard Owens, of Liverpool. The builder was Mr. Thompson, of Cheetham Hill-road. The grounds are laid out with shrubs and trees. The pulpit, pews, and general fittings of the interior are pitch pine. The chapel is seated for about 400 persons. Behind are a school-room, vestries, and house. The cost of the whole has amounted to £3,000. The organ, which has been erected by Mr. Watson, was presented to the congregation by Mr. Evan Thomas, of Cheetham. [Builder 13 April 1872 page 291]
