OUR CONGREGATION
Here is the most recent picture of those of us who were at the morning service on 20th July 2008. There are about 100 of us in total but most Sundays there are 50 to 60 of us at the service. Click
here or on the picture for a larger copy. |
Our Church has its origins in the late 17th century, its first chapel being built in 1719. The current building of 1974 is the congregation's fourth in the town. We are the oldest nonconformist congregation in Bury.
