The original Chapel was built by a Mr Thomas Dobson at his own expense.

In 1887 the General Chapel Committee of the Wesleyan Methodist Church sanctioned the enlargement of the Chapel and this work was completed in 1889. The enlargement increased the seating capacity of the chapel by sixty.

Shortly after the enlargement of the chapel, in 1896-97 a pipe organ was installed by Nelson & Co., Durham, at a cost of £146.

In 1937 the Chapel held its Fiftieth Jubilee.

In 1952, electric lighting was installed, together with an electric organ blower.

The Chapel celebrated its centenary in 1987.
