HISTORICAL NOTE: Built for Revd Snow after his removal from
Portland Chapel, North Place (qv) and used for Strict Baptist
Services until 1822 when Snow reverted to the Church of
England and so handed it over to Anglican trustees. In 1827 it
was sold to Congregationalists who re-opened it as 'Highbury
Chapel'.
