The tenants will be required to work in the remote Upper Dales
Chairman Stephen Stubbs said: “Whilst the chapel will only provide two new homes for local people, it is a start and we have other possibilities in the pipeline too. We are very grateful toRichmondshire Council for supporting us with funds, and to the Methodist Circuit for allowing us to buy the chapel. We recognise that the hard work is just starting.
In 2020, Trust volunteers were left disappointed when their bid to buy the former Arkengarthdale C of E Primary School for a similar project was unsuccessful. The parochial church council were bound by legal covenants to instead sell it to the highest bidder, a couple who moved from Snowdonia to open an outdoor pursuits and yoga centre in the building after buying it for £185,000 - an amount the charity could not match.
