The chapel sign has finally arrived! So if you couldn’t find us in Whitchurch before you shouldn’t have any problems now! A rather sizeable 8.5ft tall! Make sure you keep an eye out for us!

MAYbe the busiest month so far
With every month that passes, we get busier and busier. May has seen so many different developments, let’s recap a few! Every aspect of the Chapel build gets our full attention, from the garage doors to the colour of the guttering. Water holes were emptied and filled with concrete before the beams and concrete blocks…
Floor Time
After the holes in the floor were emptied of water the concrete went in..finally! The concrete needed to dry first, then the beams were put in place ready for the blocks to slide in. Then the satisfying moment of smoothing the concrete on-top of the long awaited floor! We have to admit, its…
April Showers
April had many hurdles to overcome, mainly with the floor. With the increased amount of water seeping in from the River Test, filling the holes in the Chapel, even the digger struggled not to sink through the floor. All that soil has to go somewhere.. We are thankful April came with a new roof !…
Waiting for the concrete
The River Test flows through Whitchurch, and apparently our floors in the Chapel… Today we are removing the water from the holes and then filling them with concrete to ensure the water is locked out. Only problem is, the concrete hasn’t arrived yet, could be an issue if the water starts to creep back in.. Hurry…
Ground Designs
You’ve seen the first floor, now it’s time to have a look at our plans for the ground floor. Here is a more detailed look at the floor plan ↓ Make sure you visit our blog regularly so you can be kept up to date on all things Chapel!
Spot the Difference
What we hope the after picture looks like.. ↑ Using Autodesk Maya we can bring to life the vision we have for the Chapels future. We are in the process of building a second floor to take advantage of the high walls that the Chapel offers, the window shapes will be kept but the inside structure changed, a glass panel on the floor…
The Team
Our team is growing as are the developments with the Chapel! Even with the English weather, we are pushing on to hopefully move in before Christmas and once again have our tree lit up outside as is tradition in Whitchurch. Keep an eye out for more updates..
Early January
Early January brought a welcome relief from the rain, but it was bitterly cold. Phil constructed a ‘home inside the Chapel’ so he and the team could keep warm when they were having a cup of tea. Essential. Removing the render has made a huge impression on the building. Painstaking work, but really worthwhile. Work is continuing on…
November – The first spade in the ground
Finally work is under way and we can see this old, tired derelict building transform into a living project. Once the outside has been cleared, we can erect our safety fencing to keep the Whitchurch residents safe whilst we carry out the renovations. The site cleared, inside and out. Skip after skip is filled, removed and…
Before…
Standing on the corner of London Street, The Factory or The Chapel is a significant building. Its tall pedimented frontage is completely unique and stands out. Over the years it changed hands many times, but each time its owner lost faith and sold it, it deteriorated further. This old Methodist Chapel has an industrial heritage. It…
