METHODIST NEW CONNEXION CHAPEL AND SCHOOL, OUTLANE, HUDDERSFIELD. - This chapel and school have been built to replace a structure nearly a century old, on a very exposed site on the moors, three or four miles out of Huddersfield. The plan was somewhat difficult to arrange in order to avoid the numerous graves found on the site. There are a chapel, with transept and galleries all round, seating 560 persons, and a schoolroom for 300 scholars, with eight vestries. Yorkshire stone was used throughout, and all the woodwork is pitch-pine. The total cost was £2,750. Mr Fred W Dixon, of Manchester and Oldham, was the architect.
