Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel, Baptist chapel in Lower Dicker, United Kingdom

The Classical Georgian style building stands along the A22 road, featuring an open pediment facade with prominent pilasters and an 800-person capacity interior

The chapel opened in 1838 when trustees acquired land for £20 and constructed the building for £422 under the guidance of William Gadsby

The congregation shifted from serving both Calvinistic Baptists and Independents to becoming exclusively Strict Baptist in 1839 to maintain religious focus

The property includes a schoolroom and an extended burial ground, with Chapel Cottages constructed in 1875 to house congregation members

The chapel replaced the smaller Dunk's Chapel, named after founder James Dunk, and drew nearly 1000 attendees during its Silver Jubilee service in 1887

Inception: 1838

Architectural style: classical architecture
