Abstract: |
The redundant United Reform Church at Haughley was built in 1835 or 1843 as a daughter establishment of the Congregational Church in neighbouring Stowmarket (there is conflicting documentary evidence of the precise date). The chapel is set back from the medieval street frontage behind a small yard, but there is no evidence that it possessed a burial ground. Designed as a timber structure with a rendered exterior it was cased in red brick during the 20th century and its original arched windows lost, but the northern entrance porch and panelled benches survive from its foundation. These benches are fine examples of their type, with raised tiers for children flanking the central entrance, but the building has been too heavily altered to merit listing. A small side-vestry was added to the simple rectangular hall in the mid-19th century, and replaced with the present example in 1995. A detached wooden hall to the rear was built in 1932 to accommodate a Sunday school and other ancillary activities and is not of sufficient age or rarity to merit listing or retention. |
