Chapel (now Congregational Church), Belstead, Independent

The church does not have a graveyard.

It was founded in 1790.

[Marked as Independent Methodist on some maps]

The Independent churches were ones in which each congregation was autonomous, upholding the principles of independence. In the 19th century they became known as Congregational.

In 1972 the Congregational church joined with the English Presbyterian church to become the United Reformed Church. Some Congregational churches though did not take this path and became members of the Congregational Federation.
