Last month, two organisations joined together to re-open a chapel in the Yorkshire Dales, which had been closed for six years.
Salem Chapel in Martin Top, Lancashire and the Gospel in the Dales Trust re-opened the old chapel at the Yorkshire Dales village of Hetton, which is about five miles north of Skipton. It had been closed by the Methodists some years ago.
