Church History

It was founded in 1719. Rebuilt in 1861. Bombed on 31st Jan 1941. Rebuilt by 1955.

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.
