Hatch Bottom Ebenezer Bible Christian chapel
The March-April 2020 Newsletter of the West End Local History Society is full of interest, but specifically mentions both a Bible Christian and a United Methodist chapel at different dates, each seating 200, so probably the same building. https://www.westendlhs.co.uk/newsletter-events/

The chapel is now (10.10.26) unoccupied, boarded up and on the market. The hall behind is used as a day nursery

Finding out about a United Methodist chapel
When a chapel closes the Methodist Church deposit the records in a local record office. Even when the chapel is still open, any records no longer in use are deposited. The best place to find what is available, and where, is to consult the National Archives Discovery catalogue https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/
Just type in the name of the chapel or church and see what comes up. Although the National Archives host the catalogue, it covers all local record offices.
It is a very good tool for discovering about when a chapel was opened, as most chapels were vested in trusts, and the details were enrolled by national government. The National Archives have recently catalogued all those trust records.
