The members originally met for worship in the Mission House on Peckham Rye. This place becoming too small, a fund was raised and the present chapel built to seat 300, at a cost of \u00a31,300. The memorial-stone was laid by Mr. E. Vinall, minister of Regent Street Chapel, City Road, May 5th, 1873 ; the stone was given by D. C. Preston, of Nunhead. The chapel was opened for worship September 21st, 1873.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Ye Parish of Camerwell<\/em> W.H.
