Barrowford Booth

• Higherford Methodists is the third chapel on the site. The previous building was dismantled in 1991 to make way for the current one and was bought by a Japanese businessman Mr Takeuchi who in 1996 had it rebuilt at a hotel in the Tokyo suburb of Hachoji as a wedding chapel. It is now known as the Great Victoria Chapel.
