Independent Chapel, Bread Street, Warminster

The Independent Chapel At Bread Street, Warminster Common

Wilfred Middlebrook in The Changing Face Of Warminster, first written in 1960, updated in 1971, noted:

The Independents had a chapel in Bread Street, which was used by the Wesleyans, but according to Daniell they left it in 1818. There was a split at the time, and some of the Methodists who had been expelled got possession of the Chapel. On 3rd April 1827 the foundations of a Methodist Chapel were laid at the Common and William Daniell preached there for many years.

The Independent Chapel in Bread Street was destroyed by fire in 1857. The Chapel occupied the site of an old cockpit known as the Hammer and Trowel.
