Chapel reopens in Yorkshire Dales

Last month, two organisations joined together to re-open a chapel in the Yorkshire Dales, which had been closed for six years.

Martin Top Chapel in 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.

The two organisations purchased the chapel in October 2024 and re-opened with a successful carol service in December, which saw dozens of villagers hear a gospel presentation accompanied by several, well-known Christmas hymns and mince pies.
