Lower Chapel is one of two chapels ordered in 1710, along with the main parish church, to serve Middlesex County's Christ Church Parish. The other chapel does not survive. Lower Chapel, begun in 1714, was so named because it was located in the lower part of the parish. Completed in 1717, the Lower Chapel served the parish until it was abandoned following the disestablishment. The building was acquired by the Methodists in 1857 and has since been used by that denomination with the designation Lower Church.
