The new chapel, opened by the Wesleyan Methodists in 1868, was immediately across the road from its predecessor (1861-68).
 
The building ceased to be used as a chapel in 1990 and was sold three years later, before conversion to a store shed.
 
It is located at NGR TF 266 476 in Holland Fen with Brothertoft parish.

The steel bow girder bridge over the Witham at Langrick was built in 1908 at the joint expense of the Great Northern Railway (which controlled the Witham navigation) and the two county councils - Holland and Lindsey - linked by the bridge.

It replaced a long established ferry between Brothertoft and Langrick.

The steel road bridge, which cost £8490 to construct, carries some attractive wrought iron decoration, incorporating the shields of the two county councils either side of the River Witham (Lindsey and Holland).

The total length of the bridge is 174ft (53.4m) with a centre span of 120ft (36.6m).
