Dorking - Presbyterian Church
« on: Wednesday 14 May 08 11:52 BST (UK) »
Hi list

Does anyone know if there was a Presbyterian Church in Dorking between about 1895 and 1905?  If so, is it still there?

Thanks

Ok what I have found out if the following.
The Presbyterians use to meet and worship at the Rev John Woods house, when he died
in 1693 the Presbyterians did not survive as a single body but merged into the Congerational Body. A chapel
in West Street was built in 1719. It was pulled down in 1834 and rebuilt. In 1874 it was
improved and altered. I believe that today it is the United Reformed Church in West Street, Dorking.
Maybe you could contact them and confirm the above info.

Hi Jooles

Thanks for that.  I'll contact the URC.
