This church on Croft Road was founded in 1907; see its page on the Congregational Federation website here https://www.congregational.org.uk/find-a-church/church-finder/120/stockingford . Congregational churches grew out of the Independents of the 17th century Puritan movement, each local congregation being independent and choosing its own pastor. In time they formed a Congregational Union and then a Congregational Church, which in 1972 joined with the Presbyterian Church of England to form the United Reformed Church https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congregational_Union_of_England_and_Wales . Some however, chose to remain independent, as this congregation clearly did.
