Old Chapel House Richmond Hill Leeds

[JeanH]

My husband has been in hospital for several weeks and travelling home on the 61 bus I keep noticing that the Medical Centre in the area is housed in a really old building with the name "The Old Chapel House.  I can find no reference to this lovely old house, which is sorely in need of renovation,  Does anyone know its history?  I believe the area was once known as "The Bank" where a lot of my ancestors live.  Thank you, Jean

Plenty of information on the net about 'the Bank', but been trying to locate the actual building you mention without success.
Would suggest you make contact with the Yorkshireindexers: www.yorkshireindexers.info
Being Leeds based they may have better access to the history of Old Chapel House.
 Regards Brian
[Hope your husband is on the road to recovery]

No Stan, that is not the building.  I will try and take a picture when I am coming home from hospital today. Thank you and Brian for trying to help.

The Leeds Govt Tithe maps projects show it better

That's the one, many many thanks.  It has been driving me nuts, thought I was seeing things.  Now need to find out more about it and its history.  Grateful thanks to all who spent time searching for this elusive Chapel.
