Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, on Hills Lane. A chapel was first built there in 1781 for the Wesleyan Methodists, later acquired by the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists who rebuilt it in 1826 as a chapel measuring 30 feet by 36 feet. It was rebuilt again by the congregation in 1870, and it was this building that survived until closure and demolition in 1931.
