HISTORY: Chichester's oldest Non-Conformist chapel. 1671 Baptist Church on this site rebuilt in 1728. By the early C20 it was a Unitarian Chapel and later a hall. One of the founders of the Baptist Chapel was George Smith, grandfather of the three Smith brothers known as the Chichester painters. The painters' father, William, was Minister of the Eastgate Chapel.
