Inscription. Upon this spot, formerly the site of Westminster Hospital, a house of God for divine service, according to the congregational faith and order, was erected by the “Metropolis Chapel Building Fund Association,” under the name of Westminster Chapel, the corner stone thereof being laid on August 3rd 1840, by Charles Hindley, Esqre, M.P.

That building was opened on May 6th 1841, and in July 1842 the Revd. Samuel Martin became the minister. Schools and vestries were added in 1843, and almshouses in 1859, and the congregation having outgrown the building, it was taken down in 1864, and the present chapel erected in its stead.

This stone was laid on June 28th 1864, by Sir Francis Crossley, Bart. M.P. The topmost stone was placed by Henry Bidgood, Esqre. and George Frederic White, Esqre. on March 18th 1865, and the chapel was opened on July 6th 1865, being the twenty-fourth year of the pastorate of the Revd. Samuel Martin.

Peace be within these walls and prosperity in this church of our Saviour!
