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.[1]
