History of The Parlour at Manns Chapel

This chapel was stablished in 1887 and later decommissioned in 1985. Today, this charming chapel still holds a soft spot in the hearts of the surrounding community. Abandoned but not forgotten, the creative team behind this project celebrated restoring this old building like saving an old friend. The chapel is sweet and simple; unpretentious yet tastefully elegant. Not your traditional catering hall or trendy meeting space: here, style and tradition is celebrated uniquely.
