Glastonbury United Reformed Church, originally and for most of its life known as the Congregational Church, has been a part of Glastonbury’s community for nearly 400 years. We were Glastonbury’s first non-conformist Christian church. When the Act of Uniformity (so-called because it required all Church of England congregations to worship in a uniform way) was passed in the middle of the Seventeenth Century, some Christians left the Anglican church in Glastonbury and started meeting for worship in an upstairs room at the Ship Inn, an inn on the site of our present URC Church. This church as we know it was built in 1814, and altered in 1898.
This Congregational Church became a United Reformed Church when the Congregational and Presbyterian Churches united in 1972.
