Eldad Chapel was first built here c1830 until it’s demise 1846 when the chapel fell into disuse. In 1848 it was renamed Church of St Peter’s, at the same a temporary hospital was built nearby to cope with the outbreak of cholera, which was nursed by a group of women who became Sisters of the Holy Trinity who were allowed to receive Holy Communion daily. In 1882 major works were done to the tower, etc. and then during WWII it was gutted, being finally rebuilt late-1950s.
