Geschiedenis
White's Row Congregational Chapel was built, probably in about 1755, by a congregation of Independents [Congregationalists] under Edward Hitchin, which had met previously in Artillery Lane Chapel. Hitchin died in 1774 and was succeeded by Nathaniel Trotman. The congregation was then large, drawing most of its members from within a mile of the chapel: Trotman's reception service was attended by 1,200 persons. He died in 1792 and was followed by John Goode, who served the chapel until his resignation in 1826, by which time the congregation had dwindled considerably. The Reverend Henry Townley became minister in 1828. In 1836 the congregation left White's Row, the lease having nearly expired, and after a short stay in Bury Street Chapel, built Bishopsgate Chapel in the City of London.
