United Reformed Church, Seaton
Image: © Richard Rogerson Taken: 1 Oct 2017
Originally an Independent Chapel, the members became known as Congregationalists and in 1893, in order to worship in more suitable premises, a site for a new place of worship was purchased in Cross Street. On Thursday 27th September 1894 the foundation stone of this current building was laid at the south-west corner, and the new church was opened one year later, on Thursday 26th September 1895. In 1971 the church members voted in favour of a merger with the Presbyterians and in 1972 the United Reformed Church came into being. https://seatonurc.wordpress.com/buildings/ Structurally the front of the church is of flint, with Bath and Beer stone dressings, and the side and end walls are composed of brick panelling, both inside and out.
