TRINITY CHAPEL, St BUDEAUX

The Trinity Chapel was located in what later became Budshead Road at Crownhill.  It was a chapel-of-ease to St Budeaux Parish Church.

It was erected at a cost of £538 at the instigation of Captain Edmund Denman, Royal Navy, who lived at what was then known as Knacker's Knowle.  Mr Robert Ambrose of Plymouth was the builder.

 Trinity Chapel at Crownhill, within the parish of St Budeaux, Plymouth

Troops stationed at Crownhill Fort were apparently marched to the Chapel every Sunday but when the Garrison Church of St Alban, at Plumer Barracks, was opened Trinity Chapel fell out of favour.

The building was later used as a youth club and then became a store for the Plymouth Library Service.
