Might there have been another built?
Happened in another part of Shropshire.
A “ Tin Hut “ Baptist chapel on a mine site ,as the congregation grew another purpose built with sunken Baptism pool in a very pretty location about half a mile away.
That still stands .

"In 1805 the church of ST. LEONARD was built on the south-west edge of Malinslee township by I. H. Browne, owner of Malinslee, and Thomas Gisborne, with money left for charitable purposes by Browne's great-grandfather Isaac Hawkins. (fn. 70) Although intended to replace Dawley old church, St. Leonard's remained a chapel of ease until 1843 when it was assigned a district chapelry covering Malinslee township and Dawley Bank. (fn. 71) The benefice was in the gift of the vicar of Dawley Magna. The living was abolished in 1975 when Malinslee became part of the new parish of Central Telford. (fn. 72)"
