History
Historic landmark with rich history
Chapel Forty Nine’s exterior stands solid and timeless, reflecting a history equally as enduring. This Gothic Revival Grade II listed building, designed by renowned architects Danby & Simpson, first opened its doors as Sunday School in 1904. Subsequently it evolved into a congregational church hall and even briefly housed an architect’s studio in the ’90s before becoming the multipurpose events space it is today. Throughout its lifetime, Chapel Forty Nine has always retained its original charm and character while adapting to meet the needs of the community.
