Davenport Chapel is situated near the Congleton to Holmes Chapel Road. You can't miss it
– it's the one with the huge
car park and the lovely graveyard!
A small country chapel with humble beginnings, the Venables family from
Lightwood Farm, just across the road, were the driving force behind its
building in 1834.
Over the years the chapel has been modernized to include central
heating, fitted carpets, a very useful kitchen bar, new curtains and
new doors and, more recently, a toilet suitable for the disabled.
Although the congregation is not the largest to be found in the
circuit, all the members are very enthusiastic and willing to donate
their various skills to the well-being of the chapel.
There is one service each Sunday at
10.45 a.m. plus several popular 'specials' throughout the year,
including a very decorative Harvest Festival. The Autumn Fayre always
proves to be a very good social event and fund-raiser, for which we
rely heavily on the support of friends from other chapels and churches.
In a world of confusion and disarray, people are discovering the peace and warmth of a simple country
chapel (especially one with a huge car park and a lovely graveyard!)
