The Architect was Robert Argile, of Ripley. It was opened on Tuesday 8 June 1875. Stalwarts included The Fletchers of Head House Farm and The Stephens of Mapperley Brook. Falling attendances led to its closure on Sunday 17the August 1969 and the subsequent opening of a new chapel at Mapperley Crossroads, West Hallam.
