William Stephen Ballamoar Ballaugh 1778 sold plot to Thomas Clark (also of Ballaugh) for £2 The Chapel was built but soon found considerably too small and needed to be enlarged, but no room to expand, but there was a restrictive clause reverting property back to William Stephen if land no longer used for Chapel. In 1806 William Stephen removed the restrictive covenant + provided additional land for enlargement. Supposedly used stones from nearby keeill; Used as Sunday School/hall on completion of new Chapel; however economics have now (1999) forced closure of new chapel with services reverting back to hall. |
