Item: Wesleyan Church, St Just
Description: To the left of the title can be seen a name card for the person renting that particular pew. This Wesleyan Chapel at St Just in Penwith was built in 1833, the north side finished in 1841, on mining waste ground. It was enlarged in 1860, renovated in 1930. It can seat 1,000 but on the day of its opening, upwards of 1,200 people attended the service. The design is standard. Originally it was intended that the street outside should be made up of houses of grand design and proportion to provide a suitable approach to the Chapel. The ceiling rose is an air vent. In 2014 this Chapel is still open.
