Our Church

Since 1688 our church has been committed to serving our Lord Jesus in our town of Henley. Meetings were originally held in houses until the first chapel was built in 1822. In 1867 George F Muntz gave the money for a new chapel of Wilmcote stone to be built. Unfortunately a disastrous fire in 1936 left only a few walls standing but the chapel was rebuilt and reopened in September 1937.
