Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
The first meeting house was erected in 1670, in Factory Lane East, just off the High Street. In 1851 the Horner family built a new meeting house on Colchester Road. This was converted to a factory in the 1960s and the graveyard paved to make a car-park, the gravestones being placed around the boundary walls. <1>
