United Reformed Church And Memorial Stone Beside North Wall

The United Reformed Church, located on Chapel Lane in Fowlmere, is a chapel built around 1780, with an apse added in 1870, a bell tower and clock from 1881, and restoration work completed in 1878. The building features a timber frame with rough cast render and 19th-century gault brick, topped with 20th-century ridge-tiled hipped and gabled roofs.

This two-storey chapel has a single-storey school room to the west and a bell tower that rises above the two-storey structure at the south-west corner. The chapel has a square plan and a polygonal apse, with a symmetrical west front that includes a gabled projection flanked by lean-to open porches, and gault brick quoins. The central window on the west front is two storeys high, accompanied by two gallery windows and additional side elevation windows, all featuring round-headed arches and original leaded lights. The diagonal boarded doors on either side are adorned with patterned iron hinges shaped to match the round arches.

The school room showcases pierced gable bargeboards with a drop finial, a round apex window, and two casement windows set in cambered brick arches. The bell tower has panelled brick walls, a clock on the north face, and louvred belfry lights. Inside, there is a gallery on three sides with a panelled front supported by cast iron columns. The organ, installed in the 19th century, was made by Hen Jones of London. Additionally, there is a memorial stone, a limestone slab inscribed in memory of Rev. William Merchand, who died in 1810, and his wife Mary.
