Opened in 1898, succeeding several earlier churches on different sites. The architects were Gordon, Lowther and Gunton. A spire was removed in the late 1960s/early 1970s.

A neo Norman chapel of 1859, replacing an earlier building of 1814. It was built for Congregationalists by John Brown of Ware. Methodists moved in to share it in 1978. It is in a courtyard off East street together with a contemporary school now converted into housing.
