First Congregational Church SitePrint Page 
Plaque, with a large wooden cross, commemorates the site of the Independent (Congregational) Church erected in 1854 and the Kew Congregational Church 1860-1978. The first places of Christian worship.
In 1853, when the village consisted of only a few cottages and tents, Messrs. J. J. French and James Day set themselves to work to provide a building in which divine worship might be conducted. They waited upon Mr. N. A. Fenwick, and obtained a gift from him of the land in Walpole Street . The first Church, known in its early days as the Independent Chapel, was built of brick at a cost of £490, and opened free of debt on 16th April, 1854.
