History
Hampton Hill Spiritualist Church was first established in October 1919 as the Hampton Hill Spiritualist Society. The Society was located at No. 3 High Street in Hampton Hill. Some time between 1921 and 1928, the church moved to a building at No 12 Windmill Road known as the Old Church. This building was originally built as a Congregational chapel and used for this purpose between 1838 and 1870, after which it had a wide variety of uses including a glove factory. The church was affiliated to the Spiritualists' National Union in 1929 and was formally registered as a spiritualist church in May 1937. The church building and land were later purchased in March 1957 and put into trust with the Spiritualists' National Union. By the 1990s, the Old Church was in a poor state and in need of major repair work. The Church negotiated a land swap with a local developer and the current church was constructed on land to the rear of the Old Church with the original plot at the front being used for residential housing. The New Church was opened in August 2000.
