History
The foundation stones were laid on Tuesday 6 November 1888 by the Mayor of Nottingham, Alderman Turney and Alderman Manning.[1]
The chapel was designed by Richard Charles Sutton and built for Primitive Methodists, costing £2,000. It was opened on 20 October 1889 with seating for 700.[2]
The chapel was built in memory of Samuel Morley (MP) who had run the firm of I and R Morley in Epperstone, Oxton and Woodborough.
In 1891 the congregation started construction of schools. These were built to designs also by Richard Charles Sutton.[3]
The church closed in 1942 and the building was sold to Boots in Nottingham and used as a warehouse until it was demolished in 1972.
