They had originally assembled in a brewery in St. Edmund’s, and afterwards in the “west granary” of St. Andrew’s Hall. The Old Meeting is built of red brick, fronted with four Corinthian pilasters. The Rev. John Hallett is the minister. Prince’s Street Chapel , another Independent place of worship, was erected of white brick, with boldly
