Waltham Street Chapel, Hull by Frederick Schultz c. 1880-90
From the Hull Museums Collections

The chapel is described in J. Greenwood of Hull's Picture of Hull, published 1835, as follows: 'Waltham Street Chapel, begun in 1813, and opened in 1815, at the cost of about nine thousand pounds, will seat about three thousand persons, and was considered at the time of its erection, the largest chapel in the connexion, it is an elegant brick structure, covered with roman cement. It has a portico of two Doric column, and the interior is particularly spacious and elegant. The end of the chapel terminates in a semicircular cove, with a dome and sky-light, and on each side of the recess are composite pilasters. A gallery extends around the entire building, and is supported by columns in imitation of verd antique. The pulpit and desks are of fine mahogany, and the whole reflects great credit on the taste of the community for whose use it was erected. There is a very large and superior toned organ, which was lately erected by Mr. Nicholson, of Rochdale.'
