The Old Chapel History - The unusual name of this Cornish village, 'London Apprentice', first appears on a map in 1747, and appears to come from the name of an inn, which may have been based on a popular ballad of the time. The inn, and the hamlet which took its name, grew up as part of the tin mining industry

It was some time in the 1830s that a Primitive Methodist mission came to this area and the first society was established. It was not very successful and ceased to meet in 1846. A new society started in 1849, and services were held in the house of Walter Coombe.
The Chapel was built in 1870, and enlarged in 1904 when the Sunday School was built. It was called New Mills, the name by which this hamlet became known in the 1830s, about the time when Primitive Methodism reached this area. It is not clear whether the name related to a corn mill or tin-stamping mills.
