From the National Heritage List for England (listing entry for tombstones in the associated burial ground):

Research by various local historians suggests that Wheelbarrow Town was a stronghold of early Baptists; documentary evidence of a Baptist congregation linked to the main east Kent Baptist church at Eythorne dates back to 1679. From the late C18 the congregation had a chapel within the hamlet itself, which was subsequently used by the Wesleyan Methodists once the Baptist congregation died out in the early C19. The chapel survives now as nos. 1 and 2 Chapel Cottages.
