In 1672 John Flavel opened a small meeting house on the corner of the later Flavel church hall. In 1729 the building was enlarged and known as the Independent Chapel. The building was enlarged again in 1784 and in 1841 the church was rebuilt when it became the largest building in Dartmouth being a half metre higher than St Saviours Church. In 1896 the old church was converted to a Sunday school, which was irreparably damaged by an air raid in 1943. The new church hall was completed in 1954.

A geophysical survey undertaken in 2003 found that there was probably a structure beneath the site.
Goodwin, N., 2004, Flavel Centre (Report - non-specific). SDV156234.
On the east and south parts of the site the truncated remains of mortar bonded rubble walls were exposed. The construction of these walls had cut through reclamation material and probably represent the east and south walls of the 19th century Congregational Chapel.
