This building which is now the Grace Community Church, stands on Deepdale Road, it was originally a Primitive Methodist Chapel, but not the the first built in this area.
The original chapel built in 1911, was a short distance away at the top of Loftus Bank where there’s now just a small park.
The chapel was damaged by a major landslide in September 1929, but it can be seen that elements of the original were reused in the rebuild such as the details above the large window.
In the foundation laying ceremony of the original it can be seen that there were rows of bricks with initials of the congregation / contributors.
These bricks would appear to have been reused extensively in the rebuild.
Really fantastic lived in loftus all my life went to the chapel ( deepdale) as a minor Sunday school.didnt know it was previously.situated at the top of the bank
My family were all christened buried from this chapple it was at the bottom of our road I’ve been trying to see if the chapple records were kept
