Alhampton Mission Church is a Church of England chapel in Alhampton, Somerset, England. [1] The tin tabernacle was erected in 1892 and now forms part of the Fosse Trinity Benefice. [2]
Alhampton's iron church was erected in 1892 as a chapel of ease to the parish church of St Mary Magdalene at Ditcheat. [3] A chapel of ease for Alhampton had been suggested as early as 1887. [4] The rector of Ditcheat, Rev. C. E. Leir, determined to supply a chapel for Alhampton, in particular to serve those who struggled or were unable to get to the parish church, such as the elderly and sick. [5]
Rev. Leir, with assistance from members of his family, obtained the iron chapel in 1892 and Mr. Butt of Manor Farm gifted the church's seating. [6] The opening service was held on 12 October 1892, which included an address from Rev. Preb. Ainslie. [6] The chapel, which cost £250, was almost free from debt by the beginning of 1893. [5] £15 of its cost had been covered by a grant from the Bath and Wells Diocesan Societies. [7]
