Appears to be two churches in the same building, both listed in Kelly's 1886 directory. A United Methodist Free Chapel, built after 1852, closed 1870. And the Venerable Bede Mission Church. On the third edition 25 inch OS map of 1919, the building is shown as a Mission Room. The site is now a vacant lot.
