N/C/02 1856-1952 Collection 0.25 linear metres Congregational Church of England and Wales

Chelsea Congregational Church, Markham Square, was registered for Congregationalists in 1860 in succession to Radnor Congregational chapel, Radnor Street. There were 890 evening worshippers in 1886, but later the church was burdened with debt from building costs; there were reports of dissension in 1916 and of members joining the Methodist church in 1923. Attendance in 1903 was 307 in the morning and 501 in the evening, the largest attendance at any protestant nonconformist chapel except Chelsea Baptist Chapel. The Church was demolished for housing in 1953. The name of Chelsea Congregational Church was adopted by the Edith Grove Church in 1960.
