History

The Wesleyan Chapel was built in 1896 with its beautiful facade styled on the baroque Italianate Church designs and lavish architecture of the late eighteenth century. The Wesleyan Chapel had the capacity to seat a 1,000 worshippers, but unfortunately when congregations dwindled in the early 21st century, the building fell out of use and was then empty for a number of years.

In 2009 it was given Grade 2 listed status by the National Heritage or now Historic England, this status has greatly informed the designing, planning and transformation of the The Chapel, Harrogate.
