What is recorded here

This white commemorative plaque records: United Reformed Church Nonconformity has flourished in Dorking since 1662, when meetings were held in the homes of the ministers. This fine late Georgian building with the Italianate frontage was erected in 1834 and replaced the first independent or Congregational Meeting House built in 1719 on the same site. The church was extended, new buildings added, and the fore comet laid out in 1908. Recorded plaque organisation: Dorking Heritage.

The United Reformed Church in Dorking represents a continuous thread of Nonconformist worship since 1662, reflecting the enduring presence of independent religious practices in England; its current building, erected in 1834 with later expansions, stands as an architectural and historical testament to the region's commitment to Congregationalism.
