Carver Street Methodist Chapel was built in 1804. In 1873 it had seating for 1300. A rear extension was added at an unknown date. In 1940 the chapel seated 1100 in pews. There was one schoolroom and 20 other rooms. It is now used to supply refreshments and perhaps for other leisure uses.

This is a very long shot but at various times local newspapers ran regular reviews of church services on similar lines to their theatre reviews. It could be worth a search on the British Newspapers Archive site if all else fails.
Can anyone supply me with a detailed typical service with Hymn choices etc from around WWI era . I’m writing a novel and I’m really struggling to come up with this information. The chapel I am featuring in my novel is the one on Princess St that was bombed
