Biographical history

Merton Hall Congregational Church was founded in 1798. The chapel was not built until 1818. In 1903 it belonged to the London Congregational Union district of Metropolitan Surrey West. It seems to have closed some time before 1957, possibly because of destruction during air raids in 1940.
