Osborne Road, Kingsthorpe, Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was built in 1895. It was built of brick and seated 200 on chairs but had no other rooms. The chapel was probably closed around 1979 when the Welford Road chapel came into use. The building is now used as a Gospel Hall by the Christian Assembly. It was probably they who added the brick porch and perimeter wall.
