the church continued to meet in the loft, said to be infested with pigeons, until george turner became pastor in 1850 and made plans to build a chapel. the church bought a site on bear lane, a 250-capacity chapel was erected, and the first service was held on 9 april 1853 (good friday). it was licensed for worship in accordance with the places of worship registration act 1855 with the registration number 19715, and was registered for marriages in june 1870. in the mid-1950s it was stated that "church life [had been] quiet and uneventful" since the chapel opened, and that although it still had its own pastor (rather than relying on supply pastors or laypersons) until 1924, the congregation was in decline. the building was sold for conversion into a house in around 1994.
