This chapel of ease to Sedgley was commenced in 1815, but not finished till 1823, owing to want of funds, occasioned by the universal depression in trade which followed the general peace of 1816, (see p. 174.) It has 700 sittings, of which 300 are free, and cost only £1600, raised by voluntary subscription. The burial ground (about a rood) was given by the late Earl Dudley and Ward, who also endowed the curacy: from White's Directory of Staffordshire 1834
