What is recorded here

This blue commemorative plaque records: Glenorchy Church. The original Glenorchy Chapel was founded by Willielma, Viscountess Glenorchy, in 1777 following her visit to the town the previous year with her personal chaplain. Sensing the spiritual needs of Exmothians she organised a meeting in the 'Long Room' of the Globe Inn. A dwelling house was purchased initially, coverted for worship and was the first nonconformist chapel in Exmouth. The present church was built in 1866 superseding the earlier chapel on this site. Recorded plaque organisation: Exmouth Society.

Lady Willielma Campbell, Viscountess Glenorchy, founded the original Glenorchy Chapel in Exmouth in 1777, making it the first nonconformist chapel in the town and thus significantly contributing to the religious landscape of Exmouth.
