Upper Wincobank Chapel now has smart new railings and gates, along with well-stocked flowerbeds and silver birch trees to replace the hedges that were stripped out when new houses were built behind the Chapel garden.
The housing construction company KeepMoat, has kindly paid for the work and in a burst of whirlwind activity, a series of contractors turned up over the summer and completed the installation.
There was a Chapel here in 1817, in the coach house of Wincobank Hall and a Sunday School was held in the laundry until this lovely building was opened in 1841 as a Day School for 180 local children. And it is still bursting with life.
