Built in 1787 and closed in 1993 Loxley Congregational Chapel later became Loxley United Reformed Independent Church.

The building is surround by a graveyard on three sides, many victims of the 1864 Sheffield floods are buried there.

Henry Wilde, the Chief Officer of the RMS Titanic, was christened here in 1872.

Visited on a very rainy day with Mr Beardy





















Thanks for looking​
 
Wow what a place! The first shot almost makes it look like an old courthouse!
Fantastic set, cheers for sharing! :)
 
The organ is interesting, isnt it? One would have thought the metal pipework would have been removed, yet it is the manuals and stop that show the most damage. The casework, particularly from a distance, looks like the instrument may have had an overhaul or rebuild relatively recently. What a shame that it is unlikely to sound again. I hope it finds a home somewhere.
 
There's a fab Eubank hoover in there too :D

The glass for the ladies and gents is still intact as well.

It's such a shame it's being left to rot, it's a lovely building.
