Former General Baptist chapel in the High Street, Deal, built in 1688 by Samuel Taverner, Governor of Deal Castle during the Commonwealth. The original church became Unitarian in the 19th century and survived until 1910 after which the chapel was put to a variety of religious and secular uses. It is a small rectangular building with walls of coarse brick and a tiled roof. The broad west front of four bays has been variously altered. (2)
