Former Portland Chapel, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire - 20th June 2005

Situated in North Place, this chapel was built in 1816 as a private chapel at the expense of Robert Capper, J. P. of Marle Hill.  The first minister was Thomas Snow who was removed when he adopted Strict Baptist theology.  He went on to the Highbury (formerly Snow's chapel) in Grosvenor Street.

The late evening sunshine made the stone work glow.

The chapel was gifted to the Countess of Huntingdon's Connection, who reopened it on 27th June 1819.  It was latterly known as the North Place Chapel.

Here is another view, this time of the rear of the building taken over the sea of car roofs earlier in the day.
