Built in 1792 as a Presbyterian Church to replace the non-conformist meeting-houses of Flore and Weedon which were described as being 'out of repair'. Later it was a Congregational Church, then, when they and the Presbyterian Church entered into a union in 1972, it became the United Reformed Church.
John Wesley preached in the earlier Presbyterian meeting-house in 1767 after he had refused the use of the parish church.
The interior is simple with wooden pews and a gallery on three sides. The reading desk is on a raised platform at the western end of the room. A small room has been added for use of the minister and there is a separate meeting room at the western end of the churchyard called the schoolroom. There are some headstones in the churchyard commemorating past members of the church.
