The chapel now known as the Congregational Church was built in 1838 for use as an independent non-conformist place of worship.

After about 40 years the chapel congregation decreased and it closed in 1882, and remained so for about 18 years.

After extensive restoration and cleaning, by members of the Grimshaw Street Congregational Church in Preston, however, it re-opened as a Congregational Church.

The dedication stone, on the front of the building, bears the inscription: PROVIDENT CHAPEL ERECTED BY SUBSCRIPTION MDCCCXXXVIII.
