The old UR church in Church Road, now no longer holding services. Following a decline in attendance the Taunton head office decided it was no longer viable and it held a final gathering at the end of 2012. Originally designed by Mr W. J. Kew, the then Congregational Church Secretary and a local builder who constructed many houses in the Bedminster Down and Uplands area, it opened in 1930. However, it now has an undecided future. Local efforts are being made to keep it but it currently does not have Listed status. Perhaps there may be some hope in the form of achieving a Heritage Asset status, and some control over any changes. See ChurchCrawler's image of 2005 for comparison - Image
