Mapping Methodism - Wheal Rose Bible Christian Chapel
Wheal Rose is a village near Scorrier and is in the Redruth and St Agnes parishes. The Bible Christian Chapel was built in 1824. The profile has been compiled by Clive Benney and Tony Mansell
1824: The Chapel built; it was simply adorned and comprised a single room for services and Sunday school classes.
During its life as a place or worship it was also known as Ebenezer Chapel (1), Rose Chapel, United Methodist Chapel and Wheal Rose Methodist Chapel.
Tea treat processions were led by a brass band down to Williams’ Creamery (almost to Scorrier) and then to the field adjacent to the Chapel. Occasionally, the event was held in the garden of Rose House, a 16-acre farm with an impressive house and a large kitchen garden which must have been a superb setting for the event.
1935: The Chapel closed. (Rev. David Easton)
1937: Permission given to sell it.
It was subsequently used as a workshop.
