The original Chapel was built at Dorglass Stile. By 1830 there was a revivial in Methodism which meant it was too small. A new Chapel was built elsewhere. In 1979 a severe storm so badly damaged the chapel that it was closed immediately and services were held in the parish church. This is a picture of the second chapel. In April 1981 a new foundation stone for a new Chapel was laid. The two large windows are a feature of the present chapel.

This Roman urn was trawled up off the Longships on 2 April 1931. This kind of amphora was used for wine or olive oil, the pointed foot enabling it to stand on soft ground.

Two remarkably clean and well dressed boys with steel capped boots, one carrying a pair of shears, the other a rolled up fleece, look with distrust at the camera. A shearer is seated with a ram on a trestle in front of him. On the floor is a small pail of Stockolm Tar in case of cuts to the sheep. Piled on the clean cobbles of the farm yard is a stack of fleeces. The whole scene is composed with a sense of order and calm.
