This chapel was built, probably in about 1755, by a congregation of Independents under Edward Hitchin (abt.1726-abt.1774), which had met previously in Artillery Lane Chapel. Many members of the congregation at this time are said to have had Huguenot names. Hitchin died in 1774 and was succeeded by Nathaniel Trotman (abt.1751-abt.1793). The congregation was then large, drawing most of its members from within a mile of the chapel: Trotman's reception service was attended by 1,200 persons. He died in 1792 and was followed by John Goode, who served the chapel until his resignation in 1826, by which time the congregation had dwindled considerably. The Rev. Henry Townley became minister in 1828. In 1836 the congregation left White's Row, the lease having nearly expired, and after a short stay in Bury Street Chapel, built Bishops gate Chapel. https://www.british-history.ac.uk/survey-london/vol27/pp127-147#h3-0014 accessed by Trevor Pickup on 18 March 2021
