WHITEFIELD CONGREGATIONAL CHAPEL

It was found that the Princes Street Congregational Chapel in Devonport was poorly sited for the growing population to north of the Town.  It was closed in 1932 and replaced the following year by the Whitefield Congregational Chapel in Saint Levan Road.

When both the Whitefield and the Wycliffe Chapels were destroyed during the Second World War, it was decided to replace them with one new chapel in Saint Levan Road.   A temporary Nissen hit was opened in 1950 and this was later transformed into o the Pilgrim Congregational Chapel.

In 1972 the Congregationalists joined forces with the Presbyterian Church of England and became the United Reform Church.
