Thorlby Tin Tabernacle

Tiny former Methodist chapel almost entirely constructed of galvanised corrugated iron.

Tin tabernacles or Iron Churches were a cheap way of bringing a place of worship to small communities at a time of high population growth in Victorian times.

There are still a few examples left dotted around the country, although this one is clearly abandoned - the lawn and surroundings have been given some attention.
