HOPE METHODIST CHAPEL

The Hope Methodist Chapel belonged to the United Methodist Free Church and was located on the south side of Ebrington Street, between Norley Place and Green Street, on the corner of Green Street.   The Cobourg Memorial Hall was alongside.

The United Methodist Free Church was formed in 1857 and used the Old Tabernacle in Plymouth for their worship.

In 1862 they acquired the Independent Calvinist Chapel of which the Reverend Henry Bulteel was the minister, at the eastern end of Ebrington Street, which they re-named Hope Methodist Chapel.  Previous to the Calvinists using it, the premises had been the Plymouth School of Art.

It was rebuilt in 1897 at a cost of nearly £6,000 but destroyed during the Second World War.
