The chapel in Vauxhall-road, Preston, boasts a fascinating history, showcasing its evolution through various religious affiliations. Originally built by George Smith, it served as a venue for Particular-Baptists before being taken over by Methodists linked to the "Round Preachers." Later, it was acquired by a General Baptist, who rented it to the notable Mr. Moses Holden, an influential figure known for his passionate preaching and interest in astronomy. The building's diverse past reflects a rich tapestry of religious transformation.
