History

Roydon United Reformed church originated in 1798, when James Brown of Harlow opened a Baptist meeting house in Harlow Road, Roydon. It was reconstituted in 1811 as an Independent church. In 1851 the original building was replaced with a new chapel and soon after that the church was affiliated to the Essex Congregational Union. A manse was built east of the church in 1868. In 1933 the church was altered and enlarged. It had 31 members in 1981. ^{[1] [2]}

In 2011 the church held a celebration weekend, to celebrate the 200 year anniversary of the formation of an Independent (Congregational) Church in Roydon. ^[3]
