SHROPSHIRE'S NONCONFORMIST CHAPELS

Lords Hill & Snailbeach Baptist Chapel
Lords Hill & Snailbeach Baptist Chapel

In the late 18th century a joint congregation of Baptists and Independents met in Minsterley. In 1805 a united church was formed, but they separated and built their own chapels in 1833. The Baptists erected a chapel near to the mines in Snailbeach, the Independents built their chapel in the centre of Minsterley. The present chapel at Lords Hill, situated in a delightful setting, with its own burial ground, is said to have been built in 1873. Grid ref: SJ 380020.
