Cheshunt History

There has been a place of worship in Cheshunt High Street since 1782. The present building was opened on 15th January 1890. It was originally known as Cheshunt Street Chapel.  In 1921 the name changed to Cheshunt Union Church when the church united with the Baptist Congregation who worshipped in Turners Hill. In 1972 members voted to join the United Reformed Church. Cheshunt Free Church is now linked with Broxbourne and Hertford United Reformed Churches and, in addition, seven Enfield United Reformed Churches. 

In 1993 the pews were removed and a more flexible worship space was created. Recent improvements have included the redesign of the church frontage, thereby opening it up to the High Road and making it more attractive, with planters, and more informative with an extra notice board. There has been a refurbishment of the kitchen, the new one offering more space and better facilities for cooking meals. The church has also benefited from the addition of up-to-date computer projection equipment.

There is a booklet on our church history.
