United Church, Bradford-on-Avon
Set back from St Margaret's Hill near the corner of St Margaret's Street.
The church's website states that the building dates from 1740, when it was an Independent Meeting House. It was later the Congregational Church which became the United Reformed Church when the Presbyterians joined with the Congregationalists in 1972.
In 1974 the Methodists in Bradford-on-Avon also started to worship here when their church
at Coppice Hill fell into disrepair. A shared building agreement was entered into in 1976.
In 1981 the church became formally known as the United Church (Methodist and URC).

Railway station [3]
Looking along the lines in the direction of Trowbridge from the platform at Bradford-on-Avon station. The first bridge carries Frome Road, the second bridge carries St Margaret's Street. Beyond, a short tunnel leads to a bridge over the River Avon.
The walk starts at Trowbridge railway station and initially follows both the railway line and the River Bliss northwards. The river and the railway both pass under the Kennet and Avon Canal and the canal towpath is taken heading west towards Bradford-on-Avon. Leaving the canal, a short walk through streets leads to the railway station for a train back to the starting point at Trowbridge. Just under 3¾ miles.
