Built 1820. Destroyed by fire 1927.
The Chapel stood on the corner of London Road, Stanford Rivers and Church Road. All that remains today is the boundary wall and a headstone from one of the graves. It had an undistinguished history for the 107 years of it existence. Its claim to fame lies with the explorer David Livingstone.
In 1839 Livingstone, then a student at Chipping Ongar, was requested to preach in the chapel. He is said to have suffered from ‘stage fright’ and to have been unable to finish his sermon. He quoted his text and said “Friends, I have forgotten all I had to say” and stepped down from the pulpit.
In 1904 there were 34 Sunday School children and 2 teachers. On Sunday 2nd January 1927, an oil lamp was accidentally overturned and the building destroyed.
