Chapel put on mugs to raise money

The image of a Stoke-on-Trent chapel is being put on mugs in an initiative to help pay for its restoration.

The mugs are being issued by the Historic Chapels Trust, which is trying to save Bethesda Chapel in Hanley, and produced by the Friends of the Chapel.

Trust director, Dr Jenny Freeman, said: "It was Stoke's leading place of worship in the 19th Century.

"It became known as the Cathedral of the Potteries and stayed in use as a place of worship until the 1980s."
