The Bible Christian chapel was built when Cornish tin-miners, as part of the Cornish diaspora, relocated to the iron ore workings in West Cumbria. It replicates the Bible Christian Church Chapels in Devon & Cornwall. The Bible Christians amalgamated into the Methodist Movement in the early 20th century. This chapel was 'revived' and used until the mid-1990s.[3] (It has since been developed as a residential property.[4])
