Shover's Green Baptist Chapel, Baptist chapel in Shover's Green, England

The single-story building features three round-headed windows with wooden shutters, a slate-tiled hipped roof, and timber-framed walls covered in brickwork.

The chapel opened in 1817 after 24 members from Providence Chapel in Burwash established a new congregation in Shover's Green during 1815.

During the religious census of 1851, the chapel recorded substantial attendance numbers with 205 morning worshippers, 386 in afternoon services, and 87 evening participants.

Located 2.25 miles west of Ticehurst on the Wadhurst-Ticehurst road, the former chapel received Grade II listed status on April 12, 1978.

The building underwent significant transformation in 1876 when its original weatherboarding was replaced with brickwork, maintaining its 400-seat capacity until closure in 1973.
