Located at junction with St James' Square, Cheltenham. Was Arts Centre in recent years.
The church was built in 1820 on Knapp Road. The growth of the town led to a growth in the number of visiting worshippers. Arguments over the direction of the church led to a split,and many members joined the Highbury Chapel. More disagreements led to another split in 1835, this time the popular Rev James Smith led away part of the congregation to form Salem Baptist Church. When the church closed in 1951, its leftover funds went to the Hesters Way Baptist Church, via Cambray and Salem. After the Baptist Church ceased in 1951, the chapel was subsequently used by the Mormons and the Christadelphians, and then as a Arts Gallery (Chapel Arts now closed 2023).
