The Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was opened June 30th, 1780. Capable of seating 1300, with a large proportion of free sittings, a mode of accommodating the poor, of which Methodism may be justly proud. On the first opening of this chapel, and for a considerable time afterwards, the congregation exhibited an arrangement peculiar to early Methodism-the men and women seated on different sides-a regulation which has long ago given way to the comfortable adaptation of family pews. The building was demolished and replaced by the Victoria Hall. Nether Chapel was erected about 1715 for a society of Christians who, in consequence of the Arian dispute, had seperated from the Unitarian Church higher up Norfolk Street, until 1826, when it was pulled down and the present Chapel erected. 1908
