History

Our Heritage

 

 

Our Church was founded in 1673 and is now part of the United Reformed Church  

in the United Kingdom.  This denomination was formed in 1972 on a national

level when the Congregational Church and the Presbyterian Church came

together.  They were later joined by the Churches of Christ.  It is commonly

called the 'URC' and is committed to working together with other churches as

much as possible.
