Bishopdale Chapel was built in 1877 and consecrated on the 20th October 1877.
It was situated near the first Bishop's residence that was built in 1868.
The name was apparently chosen because the chapel was built for use as a student's chapel as well as to accommodate those in the neighbourhood.
The Evangelists are depicted in the windows on the east side of the chapel.
The chapel is apsidal and arranged in the manner of primitive churches, with the bishop and his presbytes having seats in the chancel round the Holy Table.
