ROYDON CONGREGATIONAL (LATER UNITED REFORMED) CHURCH
Scope and Content:
A meeting house was first built in Roydon in 1798, under the guidance of James Brown, minister of the Baptist Church in Potter Street, Harlow. It was originally of the Baptist denomination, but was reconstituted as an Independent chapel in 1811. A new chapel was erected in 1851 and altered in 1935-36. In 1863 a cottage at Broadley Common was acquired for prayer meetings, and a mission chapel was built there in 1869. The chapel was closed in 1970.
