Walmsgate Hall was built in 1824 for James Whiting Yorke. It passed through the Dallas Yorke family to Lord Francis Cavendish Bentinck before being sold to the Haggas family and demolished in the 1950s.

The chapel to Walmsgate Hall was built in 1901 by the Dallas Yorkes in memory of their son.

After the demolition of the hall in the 1950s the chapel was dismantled and partly re-erected as a church in Langworth near Lincoln.

The contemporary art nouveau fittings of the chapel are typified by the hanging lamp in the centre of this photograph.
