Welford Congregational Church is a Congregational church built in 1793 in the village of Welford, Northamptonshire. It is a Grade II listed building and stands on the east side of West End.
A 19th-century history of the church, then referred to as Welford Independent Church, states that a dissenting congregation first met at Welford in 1674, on the premises of Mr Edmund Miles, its first minister being Rev John Shuttleworth (1632-1688). In 1698, Rev John Norris was called to be minister at Welford and two years later a meeting house capable of seating 500 hearers was opened. By 1743, when Mr King became pastor, it was reported that the congregation included people drawn from Welford and thirteen neighbouring villages. In 1793 this was replaced by the present church, which occupies a different site. [1]
Extensive details of the history of the congregation and the buildings in which it has met appear in a chapter of "Welford: Portrait of a Northamptonshire Village". [2]
The church is built of red brick, with a datestone of 1793. It contains a worship area with vestibule and gallery supported by cast iron columns at the west end. A detailed description appears on the Historic England website. [3] A Sunday School was erected in 1866. [4]

The building formerly known as Godalming Congregational Church was the Congregational chapel serving the ancient town of Godalming,in the English county of Surrey, between 1868 and 1977. It superseded an earlier chapel, which became Godalming's Salvation Army hall, and served a congregation which could trace its origins to the early 18th century. The "imposing suite of buildings", on a major corner site next to the Town Bridge over the River Wey, included a schoolroom and a manse, and the chapel had a landmark spire until just before its closure in 1977. At that time the congregation transferred to the nearby Methodist chapel, which became a joint Methodist and United Reformed church with the name Godalming United Church. The former chapel then became an auction gallery before being converted into a restaurant; then in 2018 the premises were let to the Cotswold Company to be converted into a furniture and home accessories showroom. In 1991 the former chapel was listed at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.
