History
The church was built by John Chapman, who was a market gardener in Petersham. It was funded by subscription and is known as a "Huntington Chapel" as it was opened by Calvinist preacher William Huntington who founded or opened chapels throughout England, many of which still survive.
Hansard records a petition to the House of Lords on 14 May 1846 by "Thomas William Dawson, on behalf of the Church and Congregation of Protestant Dissenters of Bethlehem Chapel, Richmond, in favour of the Charitable Trusts Bill".
