Innis Chapel is a plain looking building and a little remote having been built in a former Quaker cemetery in 1820, by William O'Bryan, founder of the Bible Christian Methodist movement.
William O'Bryan's Quaker forefathers, the Groses, farmed at Innis and the graveyard was already established when O'Bryan acquired the land. Thomasine Bryant, William O'Bryan's mother, was buried here in 1821 and he erected a gravestone for her in 1836. This can still be seen, it is three gravestones along from the door.
The chapel contains a small collection of memorabilia, including a case which belonged to William O’Bryan, however is usually kept closed except for services held on second Sunday of every month at 2:30 p.m. April to October.
You can drive all the way to the chapel where there is ample parking but beware that the final section of the road is potholed and you should take care.
