Cross Lanes Chapel - ALC08287
Description
The Cross Lanes Society was formed from two Methodist groups from Commercial Street, Hebden Bridge and Weaver’s Square, Heptonstall. They decided to join together and build a new chapel at a half way site, at the top of the Buttress. The land cost £289 4s 0d. Plans by Mr John Nicholson were accepted and the cost f building the chapel was £2,700. The chapel, which accommodated 700 worshippers, were opened in 1840. There was a large Sunday School and a day school. In the Great War 25 young men connected with the church lost their lives and the church began to decline. It closed in 1958. The building was destroyed by fire in 1965 and subsequently demolished. The graveyard is still there.
