Question:
Can anyone add any details about the chapel?
Could it be associated with the nearby Bethesda Primitive Methodist Chapel?
Opened in 1832.
This was the only place of worship in the area until the Whitworth brothers built Luddendenfoot Congregational Church.
They had a school for child mill workers in the basement.
Around 1879, they built Denholme United Methodist School.
The Chapel and School closed in 1965.
The war memorial was moved to the Civic Centre.
The Chapel was demolished in 1973.
The abandoned Denholme United Methodist Chapel Graveyard
is still accessible.

The Chapel was dedicated in 1951, and houses some of the colours of
the Duke of Wellington's Regiment.
These include those of the 33rd Duke of Wellington's Own Regiment
[1854-1878] which were carried at the Battles of
Alma, Inkerman, at the siege and capture
of Sebastopol, and during the Abyssinian Campaign
[1868].
The chairs are by Robert Thompson and his trademark mouse
can be found on the legs of each chair.
The silver ornaments are made from Regimental trophies.
There are memorials to men of the Regiments.
3 of the Commonwealth Windows are here
