The building illustrated stands in New Street, Shipston-on-Stour, and was designed by John Wills of Derby, who was a major nonconformist architect of the nineteenth century, designing at least forty chapels for the Connexion. It was built to seat 188 people.
It is still open for worship, with 22 members.
The photograph shows the chapel in 2000.
