Administrative / biographical background: |
St. Paul's chapel was opened in 1785; for a few years, it belonged to the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion, until it became fully Independent c.1800. Many of the congregation left to form Hope Chapel in 1818, but St. Paul's still prospered - in 1829, it had 1,200 adherents. A new church was opened on the same site in 1903, which was to last until 1980, when the congregation, having recently united with Hope Street and Trinity, moved to a new church, appropriately called Trinity United Reformed Church, off Wigan Lane. |
