Longholme Wesleyan Methodist chapel, Bacup Road, Rawtenstall
Grade II Listed chapel, 1841-2 by James Simpson of Leeds. This third Longholme Chapel was decided upon in 1839 the same year as the first resident Minister, the Reverend James Wilson was appointed. The 1300 seat £7,000 chapel was opened on 18th March 1842. The previous chapel was demolished to make way for a new Sunday School used until 1956. The school was demolished in 1962 and this chapel was then re-constructed inside with the organ and pulpit being removed and the gallery space filled in, allowing the church to be moved onto the upper level and the lower level being turned into a general use area. The chapel re-opened in this form in April 1962. In 2009 the chapel received a £10,000 grant from the National Churches Trust for repair work.
