[3] One such chapel was founded in 1834 on the main road from Haywards Heath to Uckfield, west of the centre of Newick village.

The founding date is considered to be 14 October 1833, when a rood of land (0.25 acres (0.1 ha)) was granted to "certain dissenters from the Church of England called Calvinistic Baptists" to build a chapel for their use.

[1] The religious census of Sussex in 1851 recorded that the chapel had 300 sittings, 250 of which were free; and attendances at morning and afternoon services were given as 130 and 50 respectively.

Its Grade II listed status, granted on 27 September 1979,[9] offered some protection against demolition or significant alteration.

Approval was granted by Lewes District Council for an extension of the structure and conversion into three houses under the name Chapel Grove.
