Title A name given to the resource Cross Lanes Chapel, Hebden Bridge 1940 - ALC00127 Subject The topic of the resource Buildings, Buttress, Church, Churches & Chapels, Churches_&_Chapels, Cross_Lanes_Chapel, Gas Lamp, Hebden Bridge, Heptonstall Road, Mill, Mill Chimney, Mills, Minster, Moss Lane, Old Town Mill, Places, Street Names Description An account of the resource The Cross Lanes Society was formed from two Methodist groups from Hebden Bridge and Heptonstall. They decided to join together and build a new chapel at a half way site. The land cost £289 4s 0d in 1838?. Plans by Mr John Nicholson were accepted. First the school and then the chapel were opened in 1840. 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 the mid 1960’s. From a glass negative. The following text is taken from Looking Back at Hebden Bridge by Frank Horsfall & Terry Wyke Disputes within Methodism in the 1830s led to two congregations breaking away from the original Methodist Churches in this district; one holding its meetings at rooms in Commercial Street, Hebden Bridge, and the other at Weavers’ Square, Heptonstall. Sympathetic to the views of the Wesleyan Methodist Association, they decided to joint together and found a new chapel on a site half-way between the two congregations at Cross Lanes. Costing some £2,700, the chapel was opened in June, 1840. During its first fifty years although the chapel’s financial position was fragile, it organised a large day and Sunday school and it was a major force in the local temperance movement. Alterations to the interior took place in 1884 including the extension of the gallery, the replacement of the pulpit with a platform, and the installation of an organ. Some of these features can be identified in the photograph of the chapel decorated for the harvest festival of 1898. The minister at this time was the Rev. J H James. After the First World War the congregation declined and it was eventually decided to amalgamate with Salem Methodist Church and to close the chapel. This occurred in 1958 and a few years later one of the district’s most conspicuous landmarks was demolished.
