The building dating from 1847 had the highest ceiling of any Wesleyan Methodist church in England.

From the early days of Methodism in Nottingham around 1740, services were held in a variety of locations as the society grew.

When the New Connexion took over this chapel, the Wesleyans left and purchased some land in Halifax Place.

It was replaced by a larger chapel opened on 23 February 1847 built by Mr. Simpson, an architect of Leeds.

The final service was held on 29 June 1930 and the congregation then united with Broad Street Wesleyan Church.
