How Members Rescued Abandoned Mormon Chapel

It's the oldest chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the world, and it's not in the United Sates of America. Nestled in the Worcestershire countryside is Gadfield Elm Chapel. Given to the church by the United Brethren in the 1840s, it laid abandoned after mass migration by members of the Church to the United Saints. Join me as I explore how it came to be restored.
