Renting an Airbnb in Dunwich I noticed a postcard of Walpole Old Chapel stuck on the fridge. It piqued my interest and looked you up online and visited briefly today. Definitely a special place and worthy of restoration

After visiting Walpole Old Chapel I wanted to donate, as they kindly let me take photos for my Facebook page Historic churches of Norfolk and Suffolk. Its also a very beautiful Chapel that needs to be kept alive for the future.

About Historic Chapels Trust

Historic Chapels Trust cares for some of the most important Grade I and Grade II* listed places of worship in England that tell the story of the Nonconformist and Catholic traditions of this country from the 17th to 20th centuries. We offer expert advice on their conservation and provide funding for essential repairs. Working with local committees and communities we help them to develop new activities to make the chapels sustainable in the long-term. Historic Chapels Trust is the place of last resort for these important buildings. If it did not exist there would be no other organisation to care for these vital strands of our history and these chapels would be at risk of loss or irreparable damage.
