Snow, with later alterations. Brick with roughcast front.

HISTORICAL NOTE: Built for Revd Snow after his removal from
Portland Chapel, North Place (qv) and used for Strict Baptist
Services until 1822 when Snow reverted to the Church of
England and so handed it over to Anglican trustees. In 1827 it
was sold to Congregationalists who re-opened it as 'Highbury
Chapel'.

Images of England
Images of England was a photographic record of every listed building in England, created as a snap shot of listed buildings at the turn of the millennium. These photographs of the exterior of listed buildings were taken by volunteers between 1999 and 2008. The project was supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
