Summary[edit]

Description
English: Ashburton Great Meeting "Ashburton Independent Chapel [also known as Ashburton Great Meeting] was founded as an English Presbyterian meeting in 1665. It was licensed in 1672, and was continuous thereafter. It was Ashburton's earliest nonconformist congregation, and is believed to have met in a converted barn, which stood where the chapel was later constructed in North Street, Ashburton in 1739.

It became an Independent Chapel and later a Congregational Chapel, finally becoming part of the United Reformed Church. The chapel in North Street finally closed in the 1980s and is now an antique fireplace emporium, but still retains many of its features, including stained glass windows and memorials on the walls." http://www.devonfhs.org.uk/forewords/D036.pdf

The building straddles a northing gridline and backs onto Stapledon Lane. Without wishing to advertise, this is a great place to explore, and not just because of the interesting architecture.
