“Our hope and our prayer is that the Miners Chapel Charity can ensure that the great legacy of local Methodism will not be consigned to history and that our emphasis on social justice for all and practical service in the community, will be the basis going forward for the magnificent local asset that our Chapel building has always been, and we believe should continue to be.”
John Andersonlocal congregation member
“I have attended numerous performances in the chapel and sung there many times in drama productions, community celebrations and commemorations. It is a wonderful building holding almost two centuries of memories for the people of St Just. The Chapel is altogether a great resource for the town and a valuable asset for us all.”
Chris Hillnearby resident
“The Chapel is not only of considerable local significance but is also a national treasure”
Eric BerryCornwall Heritage Expert
“I rate this chapel in the highest rank of all Cornish Methodist buildings. I rank it so highly precisely because it is in scale and architectural ambition one of the ‘cathedrals’ of Cornish dissent, so important to the county’s cultural history. For the ‘Tin Coast’ it is simply the lodestone, irreplaceable, evocative, deeply moving. Every effort to secure a viable future will be worthwhile.”
Peter Beachamformer Heritage Protection Director for Historic England
“The Chapel is now beginning a new chapter of its life, imagining a better future, where the lessons from history contribute to a fair, just and prosperous Cornwall. Where once again the Chapel stays relevant (and standing) for the community it has served past, present and future.”
