The old Christadelphian Church
Image: © Neil Owen Taken: 9 Feb 2015
Originally founded in 1825 as the Congregational Church, it was occupied for about a century before the whole crowd relocated to the new building in North Road. The village also had a small but hardy Baptist movement springing up from the 1920s. After this church became vacant, they took over and established themselves, offering Sunday charabanc rides amongst other things. In the 1980s, the roof was repaired and it was discovered that there was thatching underneath the tiles. However, as with so many small throngs, the church closed in 2004 and is now a private residence.
