  • Social History: Student Project

    History of Mill Hill Chapel

    The chapel’s rich history is celebrated in this timeline created by students on Leeds Beckett University’s Public History Project module to celebrate its 350th anniversary. Here you can learn more about well known figures such as Priestley – whose life in Britain, France and America you can trace through the interactive map provided. You can also learn about more obscure individuals, such as Jogendra Nath-Sen: the only Asian soldier to serve with the Leeds Pals battalion in the First World War. Whether you want to lose yourself in the chapel’s past, or inspire yourself for the future, we hope there will be something here to interest you.

History students at Leeds Beckett University have produced a new digital resource to show how David Oluwale’s memory has been kept alive since 1969.
