In 1772 "the Baptist cause fell on hard times and the Chapel closed" only to be leased, five years later, to the local Methodist Society. John Wesley preached there three times - in 1779, 1780 and 1781. About 1812, the Baptist cause was revived but later, in a row over it having been used by another denomination, the chapel was closed and remained so for 40 years until 1862. It was officially reopened, after repairs, in 1865 and was used by the Baptists until they moved to Market Street in 1873. The building was then used by the Order of the Good Templars and the Salvation Army before it became a baker's warehouse. It was demolished in October 1957.
