The Bible Christian chapel was built when Cornish tin-miners relocated to the iron ore workings in West Cumbria. It replicates the Bible Christian Chapels in Devon & Cornwall. The Bible Christians amalgamated into the Methodist Movement in the early 20th century. This chapel was 'revived' and used until the mid-1990s. It was sold to a speculative 'developer' around 1999 and has lain desolate and untouched.

gollark: What growth recently? We've got a very bad recession going on.
gollark: It's not exactly worrying since random people on the internet have ~0 actual power.
gollark: As much as I dislike "you don't agree with my political positions thus bees you" being anticentrist instead of anti-sufficiently-politically-different people is odd.
