{3} A building recording survey was undertaken to a level commensurate with an Historic England level 1-2 survey but following the completion of conversion works and the buildings sub-division into
seven apartments. The chapel was initially completed in 1892 to plans by the Kettering architect Mr H A Cooper. It was established by the Fuller Baptist Church to celebrate the centenary of the Baptist Missionary Society. It was the intention from the start that a larger chapel would be built on a plot to the north when necessary, although this did not happen until 1912. Thereafter this building became a Sunday School/Church Hall.
