Christ Church & Chase Side Chapel

This site in Chase Side has seen a number of non-conformist buildings.
In 1780 the Zion or Old Independent Chapel was built by Peter Dupont, a retired London Innkeeper.
In 1791 due to a split in the congregation over the appointment of a minister the Chase Side Chapel was built just to the north of the Zion Chapel.
In 1832 the first Chase Side Chapel was replaced by a larger building (on the left of this picture).
In 1871 the congregations of the Zion Chapel & the Chase Side Chapel re-united.
In 1874-7 Christ Church (on the right of this picture) was built for the Congregationalist to replace the Zion Chapel & the Chase Side Chapel. The architect was John Tarring and the church was designed to rival the Anglican building of the time. This church is still a prominent landmark in Chase Side and is now known as Christ Church United Reformed Church.
In 1911 the Chase Side Chapel was demolished.
