Patterned brickwork suggests a building date of 1971. An earlier church stands adjacent, and is connected to the new. It has a date-stone for 1938. SS 5141 4749. All © Chris Kippin (2023). Link. The Lantern on High Street is a former Congregational Chapel, so named on a map of 1890. Its grade II listing, which dates it to 1818 (with later alterations) says it was also latterly U.R.C. SS 5164 4753. © Chris Kippin (2023). Emmanuel Church (Methodist & U.R.C.) on Wilder Road, Market Street and Avenue Road. Its grade II listing dates it to 1899-1900. SS 5180 4773. © Chris Kippin (2023). Link. Encounter Church on High Street and Marlborough Road.
