A small Mission Room is shown on a 1901 Ordnance map at the 'Graveyard', Lower Gornal, this appears on Graveyard Road near to the Red Cow public house, it did not appear on earlier or later maps, nothing else found out about it.

Noted that in 1771 a 'Meeting House' was erected at 'Gornall', this was likely a Quaker meeting house, William Penn and Benjamin Penn, prominent Quaker families, had lands at Lower Gornal in the area known as the Graveyard (now Grosvenor Road area), there were also Quaker burials there around that time.
