A Methodist Chapel in Lower Shelton circa 1920

This Chapel recently had its bicentenary, and due to a falling congregation size has been deconsecrated and sold. My parents were married here, I was Christened here, I went to Sunday school here. The Chapel is to the right and the Sunday school is the left building.
