On July 21st, 1879, the late Mr. Samuel Morley, M.P., laid the memorial stone of the present structure, which occupies the site of the iron chapel, and which was erected at a cost of £1,350. The Rev. W. R. Barron became the first resident pastor in the year 1882, and was followed by the Rev. A. J. Naylor, during whose pastorate a manse was built and further church and school extension was rendered necessary by increased congregations and scholars. This enlargement was effected in the year 1893 at a cost of £1,473. (http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/hucknall1909/hucknall23.htm)(1)
