Title: Old Independent Chapel, Havant, 1977 [Go to resource]
Description: This was the old Independent Chapel, built in 1718, which closed in 1890 when the new Congregational church was built in North Street. The old chapel was sold to Mr. Fred Leng as a Furniture store and then sold again in 1935 to the Portsmouth Electricity company, who used it as a store. While they were converting it they came across a lead lined coffin containing the skeleton of a boy of about 14 years old. After an inquest, which failed to trace the boy's identity, the coffin was interred in Havant cemetery. Copy of a photograph.
