The Chapel Hotel named after a chapel which once stood in the centre of Market Hill.
Pictured when in the ownership of Ind Coope who had bought the Stoneham Street Brewery in 1925 because they wanted the associated public houses including the Chapel. The brewery was then closed down and the equipment sold but the vicar managed to buy the largest of the brewery buildings and convert it into a parish Hall - St Peter's Hall now called the Village Hall.

Comments
By Roddy Miller: The dark patch by the public entrance on the pavement is a door with two flap openings it is the entrance to the cellar. Workmen used to arrive by lorry and offload wooden kegs down the cellar ramp with a rope underneath the keg looped around a joist and back up to the top man who held on and allowed the barrel to slowly go down the ramp. up to 67. There is aslo the remains of a roman road gutter in the cellar which points in a northly direction to Halstead?
