United Reformed Church the "Church of Christ of Protestant Dissenters" was instigated by Ottregian Robert Collins (1633-1697). Its first place of worship was erected in 1688 upon the site of a former bowling green and remains one of the oldest nonconformist churches in the country. In 1848 the Church became affiliated to the Congregational Union. The title "Congregational Church" was superseded by that of United Reformed Church when the Congregational and Presbyterian Churches amalgamated in 1972.
