United Reformed Church

The United Reformed Church, originally listed as a Congregational Chapel, was built in 1818. It features red brick construction with stucco on the north elevation and has slate roofs. The building is a single-storey structure with a rectangular plan and a small apse to the south, which includes a vestry that may have been added later.

The north elevation is symmetrical, consisting of three unequal bays separated by giant pilasters with moulded caps and round-headed blind arches. The central bay contains a triple doorway framed by wooden pilasters and an entablature, featuring two double panelled doors with elliptical patterned glazing bars and a rectangular fanlight above. Flanking this are two similar doors and fanlights. Above the entrance is a round-headed arched window with margin glazing bars. The outer bays each have two ground floor and two first floor sixteen-paned hung sash windows with segmental arches.

Inside, the lobby features two gallery staircases and central entrances. The gallery wraps around three sides and is supported by four slender square, panelled wooden pillars, which have applied decoration on the panels and rounded corners. The apse has a moulded round arch that springs from capitals, leading to a half dome ceiling that houses the organ installed in 1827. The seating is original, while the rostrum and pulpit date from the late 19th century. There are eight wall memorials, including two with white marble ovals set on black marble plaques dedicated to John Taylor, who died in 1786, and Ann Brightwell, who died in 1781, along with others by W. Haselgrove and J.P. Biggs. A black marble plaque in the lobby commemorates William Maling, who died in 1720. The clock was made by Dison of Linton.

Edmund Taylor, a tanner who died in 1804, left a pair of cottages in Horn Lane to fund the construction of this new meeting house, which was built at a cost of £1,000, replacing the original chapel established in 1698 that faced the river.
