| 6. DAGGER LANE. Ebenezer Chapel/Mariners' Church. Opened April 1771 by Baptists in secession from Salthouse Lane. Entry from Dagger Lane. Extended 20 feet west in 1776. In 1781 it passed to the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion. Bought by Rev. Samuel Lane in 1804, described as Calvinist in 1823. Ebenezer renamed New Dagger Lane Chapel in 1826. Independent. Used as the Anglican Mariners' church 1828-34. Demolished and replaced by new church. The MARINERS' CHURCH was established by William Hey Dykes (1794-1864) son of Revd. Thomas Dikes of St. John the Evangelists. In 1821 he founded the Port of Hull Society for the Religious Instruction of Seamen. Then in 1828 he established the Mariners' Church Society and purchased the former Ebenezer Chapel which was demolished in 1834. The new Mariners' Chapel opened on the site 15 June 1834. It was in the Gothick style, described by Greenwood as 'an indifferent specimen of Early English'. In use until c.1906. Later used as warehouse. Much altered building finally demolished November 1978. Site covered by the housing of Lisle Court. [The Lost Churches and Chapels of Hull] |
