"Bell Street United Church is a Local Ecumenical Partnership created in January 2001 between the Methodist Church and the United Reformed Church meeting on the Methodist Church premises. The United Reformed Church were the descendents of the original nonconformists in the reign of Henry VIII. A Presbyterian Meeting House was built in nearby Muston’s Lane in 1670. In 1715 it became Congregational. The Meeting House was rebuilt in 1859 and finally closed in 2001. The Methodist Chapel was built, in 1766, on the site of St Laurence’s Church, a medieval parish church. Rebuilt in 1827, it had galleries installed in 1864. In 1907 it was again rebuilt and became the Charles Garrett Memorial chapel."
