Whitechapel Church, Cleckheaton (built 1820)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitechapel_Church,_Cleckheaton

Under 'History of the site' in link
you'll find (extract from link) ~

"The site was initially developed as Heaton Chapel, a Chapel of ease to the Parish Church of Birstall"

The source for some of this may be Frank Peel's "Spen Valley, Past and Present" (1893), available at Google Books:

Chapter XVI (p.389) starts with the history of Whitechapel; the present building dates from 1820, but there's been a church there for much longer than that, as the Wikipedia article also makes clear.

Heaton may have been the old general name for West Cleckheaton or farming land, part of Heaton house estate.
