VOLUNTEERS are needed to help clean and clear Grittleton Strict Baptist Chapel before two open days on Saturday and Sunday, September 12 and 13. 

The listed building, which is owned by the Historic Chapels Trust, needs substantial work before the Heritage Open Days weekend. Each day it can be visited from 1-4pm.

Opened in 1721, the chapel is said to be an outstanding and complete example of an early 18th century meeting house.

To volunteer contact Sue Hull on 01666 822730. More information about the chapel, in High Street, Grittleton, is at www.hct.org.uk/chapels/south-west/grittleton-strict-baptist-chapel/28
