Providence Chapel is a place of worship in Dacre, North Yorkshire, a village in England.

The chapel was opened on 27 September 1827, as an independent congregationalist church. It cost £280 to construct, and could seat approximately 400 worshippers. [1] The building was renovated in 1896, from which time date most of the fixtures and fittings. [2] In 1972, the chapel affiliated to the new United Reformed Church. In 1984, Salem Chapel in Pateley Bridge closed, and its congregation transferred to Providence Chapel. [3] The building was grade II listed in 1986. [2]

The chapel is built of stone on a plinth with a purple slate roof. It has two storeys, and the entrance front facing the street has two bays and a coped gable with a band at the eaves level. In the centre is a doorway with a stone surround and tie stones, and above it is a stone plaque with a moulded surround, an inscription and the date. In the upper storey are two rectangular recesses with lintels and sills. On the sides are windows in the lower storeys and blind recesses above. [2]

Providence Chapel is a former independent Calvinistic place of worship in the village of Hadlow Down in Wealden, one of six local government districts in the English county of East Sussex. Although built in 1849, the chapel can trace its origins to the founding in 1824 of an Independent place of worship in the village. The new building was in religious use for nearly 150 years, but storm damage led to its closure and conversion into a private dwelling in 1993—although its former graveyard survives. The chapel is a Grade II Listed building.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Robertsbridge United Reformed Church</span> Church in East Sussex, United Kingdom

Robertsbridge United Reformed Church is a former United Reformed Church place of worship in Robertsbridge, a village in Rother District in the English county of East Sussex. Built for Congregational worshippers in 1881 following their secession from a long-established Wesleyan Methodist chapel, it was the third Nonconformist place of worship in the village, whose nearest parish church was in the neighbouring settlement of Salehurst. Like the former Strict Baptist and Methodist chapels in the village, which have both closed, it no longer serves Robertsbridge as a place of worship. Local architect Thomas Elworthy's distinctive design—a "rich" and highly decorated blend of several styles—has divided opinion amongst architectural historians. English Heritage has listed the church at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.
