Print, lithograph, The Dissenters' Chapel at Loaning Head, Alston Moor, published by Mawson, Swan and Morgan, Grey Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, 1890
Tipped in opposite p.70 in Alston Moor, its Pastoral People, its Mines and Miners.
This meeting house "... could only have been erected after the Toleration Act was passed on the 19th April, 1689. By this Act all Dissenting places of worship had to be licensed. It is the 'cottage chapel' which Mr Whitehead has mistaken for Burnard's farm-house residence. It has evidently been raised a little when it was converted into a cottage about the latter part of last century. The engraving opposite is an attempt to restore it (from Mr. Dickinson's photograph) to its original appearance. ..."
