"Zizzi's" (from VCH): In September 1815 a site was purchased on the south side of Lendal almost opposite the Judges' Lodgings; LENDAL CHAPEL was opened in November of the following year.

It provided accommodation for 950 persons and in the basement there was a room for a Sunday school.

The building was designed by Watson and Pritchett, architects of York, and the cost, with the site, was more than £3,000. Lendal Chapel was the first in York to be lighted by gas. The congregation appears to have increased rapidly and although a new Congregational chapel was opened in 1839, 80 persons remained in Lendal Chapel to form the nucleus of a new congregation.

The building was restored in 1902 and its use as a chapel continued until 1929.

In 1956 the building, the ground floor of which had been altered, was occupied by a shop.

The churchyard was in use 1821-1836 with 57 burials in 22 graves
