Zion Chapel, Newick

Zion Chapel is a church building in Newick featuring red and grey brickwork in Flemish bond pattern, round-arched windows, and a gabled entrance porch. The structure displays a circular recess above the entrance that combines classical design with local building traditions.

The building was founded in 1833 during a period of expansion for Protestant Nonconformist congregations across Sussex. It served the community until the early 2000s.

The building accommodated 300 sittings during religious services, with records showing morning attendance of 130 and afternoon attendance of 50 in 1851.

The chapel sits along the main road connecting Haywards Heath and Uckfield, making it easy to spot from passing traffic. Access inside is limited as the building now serves as private residential units.

The structure exhibits an oculus-style recess in the tympanum above the entrance, combining classical architectural elements with local building traditions.
