Description

Stockwell Congregational Chapel was built between 1816 and 1817, with improvements made in 1824 and 1826 when a new front was added. The chapel is constructed of red brick and features a central pediment above a recessed portico. It was established for the Reverend Joseph Herrick after he was expelled from the Old Meeting House in St Helen's Lane by the Unitarian faction of the congregation. The chapel, along with Nos 7 to 16 (consecutive) on the same street, forms a group of buildings of historical significance.
