HIGH STREET UXBRIDGE Watts Hall (Old Meeting Congregational Church)

II Original chapel of 1716, the only substantial chapel built in Middlesex in the first half of the C18. Formally constituted as a Congregational polity in 1833. Schoolroom added in 1828. Major alterations begun in 1883 by John Sulman, architect, of Holborn. Chapel was lengthened, heightened and an entrance tower added at the High Street end.

Building of brick mostly rendered except to the southwest and tower, with slated roofs. Now four bays in length.

Northwest wall shows two original windows with a matching one inserted between in place of the original door. The northeast wall shows original brickwork up to the former eaves level; and the tops of two original windows remain as lunettes above the wall of the added vestry extension.

Old windows and the three tall ones in the southwest wall are all round-arched, except in the square tower with pyramidal roof.
