ASSEMBLY is housed in
a former Wesleyan chapel in the centre of St Just.
When the chapel was built in 1757 St Just was a major tin mining center,
with a rapidly growing population. By 1833 this chapel was already too
small for use and another chapel was built close by. Our building became
the Sunday school and the Assembly Hall for the adjacent school.
As the price of tin dropped and the mines began to close over the course
of the nineteenth century the building fell into disrepair. It was sold
by the church in the 1970s.
We acquired the back
half of the building when it was still one space and the dividing wall
was built over the summer of 2006, roughly where the silver chimney
is in the photo below.
ASSEMBLY is approximately 2000 square feet spread over a ground floor
and a mezzanine level . We also have a self-contained annexe and a back
yard.
