"The roots of Castle Gate Church lay in an Independent congregation which met in Nottingham in the 1650s. The minister was ejected under the Stuart Restoration in 1662-1663. A meeting house on Castle Gate in Nottingham was registered in 1689 when the Act of Toleration allowed for dissenting Protestant congregations to worship. By the 19th century the church was Congregational in denomination. The old chapel was replaced by the present building in 1863." (

In 1972 Castle Gate merged with St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Nottingham, when both joined the United Reformed Church and the Castle Gate congregation moved to St Andrew's Presbyterian Church. Castle Gate Church and its ancillary buildings were sold in 1980 to the Congregational Federation, which represents Congregational churches that did not join the United Reform Church.
