Higham Ferrers, Linnets Lane Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was built in 1800. In 1851 it provided 105 free and 304 other sittings. In 1873 it had 364 sittings. It probably closed when the High Street chapel opened.
The locality has been much redeveloped in recent years. The images show the houses which seem to stand on the site. Their gable could be a conscious echo of the chapel gable. Signs of fenestration in the masonry perimeter wall could indicate that the wall is all that remains of the chapel.
