A Congregational Chapel used to stand on Fore Street (previously High Street) at ST 3228 0861. Old maps show that it had been built by 1886 (a local source advised Howard Richter that it was built in 1868). An old directory says it was successor to an earlier chapel on High Street, built in 1672. This was on the same site, though set further back from the road, and was later the Sunday School after the new chapel had been built. A photo of the second chapel can be seen here in a photo from circa 1950. Its site (2024 Streetview) is marked by the buildings from "cardfactory" to "Tarr Residential" inclusive.

English Martyrs (R.C.) on Fore Street. The date of building is uncertain, but must be between 1903 (not on an OS map), and 1930 (shown on OS map). ST 3254 0866. © Howard Richter (2014). Link.
