Answer:
In England, particularly, "church" refers to the Established Church, the Church of England, whereas "chapel" refers to other protestant groups. In England, if someone says, "I go to the chapel", they mean that they don't attend services at the Church of England.

A "chapel", in church architecture, means a small area within a church or cathedral which is seperately dedicated. A church generally means a self-contained building.
