United Reformed Church, Abbey Lane,
The original Independent Chapel or meeting house on this site was built
following the Toleration Act 1690 but a congregation was gathered here c1664
by Jonathan Paine....
A new and larger Congregational chapel was built in 1811 and later
enlarged....
Inside there is a three sided gallery supported on the usual thin iron
Gothic piers with an organ in an unusually handsome case at the back and a
long, dignified pulpit forming the rostrum.

There are two photos of it in "Essex Churches and Chapels" by members of the
Friends of Essex Churches.

Does the church or meeting house still exist?
