Hebden Bridge only grew as town during the industrial revolution so this church was built in the early days of the town.
In 1835 a nice
sundial was added to the centre of the outside wall, complete with a list of adjustments to be made depending on the time of year.
Unfortunately by 1873 the building was no longer used as a chapel and for a time housed the local newspaper, the Hebden Bridge Times & Calder Vale Gazette.
In 1982 the church became an English Heritage Grade II
Listed Building.
