Union Chapel, The Lanes, Brighton, Presbyterian

The church has/had a graveyard.

It was founded in 1689. It closed before 1838.

The chapel was rebuilt in 1825. The congregation gradually included more Congregationalists.

The Presbyterian church was influenced by Calvinism which rejected bishops and believed that the church should be governed by a hierarchy of general assembly, synod, presbytery and kirk sessions attended by ministers and elders of equal rank. Presbyterianism flourished in the 17th and early 18th centuries but in the later 18th century many Presbyterian churches adopted Unitarianism.

In 1972 the Presbyterian Church of England merged with the Congregational Church to form the United Reformed Church.
