MORICE STREET METHODIST CHAPEL, DEVONPORT

The Morice Street Wesleyan Chapel was situated in Morice Street, Devonport, between Granby Street and Cannon Street.

The premises dated from 1766 or 1808 [1890 DIR] or1811 [Gill] and was one of only a few chapels in Devon and Cornwall that had baptismal records going back before 1800. 

The Chapel was sold as part of a scheme started in December 1924 to reorganise Methodism in Devonport.  It was amalgamated with the Ker Street Methodist Chapel and a new Devonport Methodist Mission was created.  Both Chapels were replaced in 1926 by the Devonport Methodist Central Hall in Fore Street.
