Hidden away at the junction of two footpaths, one of which is called Itch Lane, just off the south-western corner of Patmore Heath. It was built around 1885 as a non denominational hall at the instigation of local shop keeper and Primitive Methodist John Caton. However the website My Primitive Methodists suggest it was built around 1870 passing to Congregationalists some time before 1950 before closing in the 1950s but with no sources. The building is currently derelict (February 2017) and was subject to a planning application in December 2016 to convert it to housing which was refused. Re-visited in April 2021 it was in much the same condition as 4 years earlier as you can see in this video I have made.
