List of places of worship in Reigate and Banstead
The borough of Reigate and Banstead, one of 11 local government districts in the English county of Surrey, has more than 80 current and former places of worship. As of 2020, there are 71 places of worship in active use and a further 10 at which religious services are no longer held but which survive in alternative uses.
The majority of residents are Christian, according to the results of the United Kingdom's most recent census, and most places of worship in the borough serve Christian denominations—although three mosques have opened since 1978 and the Subud and Kosmon movements have also established worship centres. The Church of England, the country's Established Church, has nearly 30 congregations; there are six Roman Catholic churches; and several congregations of Methodists, Baptists, Evangelicals, Open Brethren and the United Reformed Church each have their own church or chapel. The Plymouth Brethren group have a major regional meeting hall at Horley and several smaller meeting rooms in the surrounding area.
English Heritage has awarded listed status to 11 places of worship in the borough of Reigate and Banstead. A building is defined as "listed" when it is placed on a statutory register of buildings of "special architectural or historic interest" in accordance with the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.[1] The Department for Culture, Media and Sport, a Government department, is responsible for this; English Heritage, a non-departmental public body, acts as an agency of the department to administer the process and advise the department on relevant issues.[2] There are three grades of listing status. Grade I, the highest, is defined as being of "exceptional interest"; Grade II* is used for "particularly important buildings of more than special interest"; and Grade II, the lowest, is used for buildings of "special interest".[3] As of February 2001, there were 5 Grade I-listed buildings, 18 with Grade II* status and 388 Grade II-listed buildings in the district.[4] The borough council also maintains a list of locally listed buildings, of which there are 526 as of 2020 (including 12 places of worship). Such buildings are of "local architectural or historic interest", often characterised by "good design, traditional materials and ... historic fabric" and in many cases are situated in conservation areas.[5]
Overview of the borough
![](../I/m/Reigate_and_Banstead_UK_locator_map.svg.png)
Reigate and Banstead is one of 11 local government areas in Surrey, an inland county in southeast England immediately south of London. Situated in the eastern part of the county, it covers 12,913 acres (5,226 ha) and had a population of 137,835 at the time of the United Kingdom Census 2011.[6] This makes it Surrey's most populous local authority, and it was also the fastest growing between 2001 and 2009.[7] Clockwise from the north, it shares borders with the London boroughs of Sutton and Croydon, the district of Tandridge in Surrey, the borough of Crawley of West Sussex, and the Surrey local authorities of Mole Valley District and Epsom and Ewell Borough.[7]

The borough is mostly urban or suburban in nature and has four main towns: Horley in the south, Redhill and neighbouring Reigate in the centre, and Banstead in the northwest. About two-thirds of the borough's residents live in these places.[7] Reigate (originally known as Cherchefelle) has ancient origins,[8] but Horley[9] and Redhill are Victorian railway towns[8] and the downland village of Banstead grew with the outward expansion of Greater London, which adjoins the borough's northern edge.[7][10][11] Of the larger villages, Merstham's ancient origins are still visible, but it became a centre for quarrying in the 18th and 19th centuries and a major housing estate was built in the 1950s.[12] Kingswood is characterised by "leafy suburban surroundings",[13] while Tadworth saw much interwar and postwar housing growth.[14] Nearby Walton-on-the-Hill remains a "pleasant Victorian village" with a church, chapel, village green and pond—and a manor house[15][16] which has in its grounds a church and spiritual sanctuary belonging to the Kosmon movement.[17]
Eight ancient parish churches survive in the district. Reigate's, dedicated to St Mary Magdalen, is among the largest in Surrey: the nave and chancel are respectively 77 1⁄2 by 20 feet (23.6 m × 6.1 m) and 44 1⁄2 by 19 feet (13.6 m × 5.8 m) at their maximum dimensions, and there are aisles and chapels on both sides. The "curious and puzzling plan" shows evidence of gradual growth over several centuries since its 12th-century origin.[8] The layout of All Saints Church at Banstead "suggest[s] a possible pre-Conquest origin", but most of the work is 13th-century.[10] Lord of the Manor John de Walton founded Walton-on-the-Hill's parish church in the early 13th century, but most of the fabric is two centuries newer.[15] A church has stood by the River Mole at Horley since the 12th century, but the original (presumably timber) building[9] was replaced by the present St Bartholomew's Church in the 14th century.[18] Chipstead's parish church[note 1] is 12th- and 13th-century,[20] and Merstham's ancient church ("strangely isolated" in relation to the modern settlement) is a 12th-century replacement for an older building.[21] Gatton—a tiny hamlet dominated by the Gatton Park estate, and for many years a famous rotten borough—was recorded in the Domesday survey of 1086 as having a church, and some old fabric remains.[22] Many of these churches were restored or greatly altered in Victorian times; and the eighth ancient church, St Peter's at Woodmansterne (which was recorded in the Domesday survey), was completely rebuilt in 1876 and no earlier work survives.[23]

Restoration work was not the only theme of the 19th century. The growth of the main towns in the Victorian era and into the 20th century prompted the building of many more Anglican churches. In Reigate, St Mark (1860) and St Luke (1871) supplemented the old parish church,[8] and St Philip (1863)[24] was built a chapel of ease to St Mark.[8] Redhill could no longer rely on Reigate's churches as the opening of the railway transformed it from "a country common into one of the most important towns in Surrey", so St John the Evangelist (1843),[8] St Matthew (1866)[25] and Holy Trinity (1906)[26] were provided. A church once existed in Burgh Heath in Banstead parish, but as early as 1725 "no service [had] been held there within living memory" and the last traces of it disappeared in the late 19th century. A replacement dedicated to St Mary was built in 1908–09.[10] Kingswood was originally a liberty and an exclave of Ewell parish; churches were built in the village (St Andrew, 1848–52) and at Lower Kingswood (originally dedicated to St Sophia, then to Jesus Christ the Wisdom of God). The latter, opened as a mission church in 1891 by Cosmo Bonsor,[27] is a remarkable Byzantine-style building decorated with many types of marble and with remains taken from ancient sites in the Near and Middle East. Among these are capitals retrieved from such places as the northern quarter of Ephesus and the Monastery of Stoudios, St Mary's Church at Blachernae, the Palace of Blachernae, the Church of the Pantocrator and another church which is now the Eski Imaret Mosque, all in Constantinople.[27][28] More modest Anglican churches were provided in the early 20th century at Tadworth (originally in Kingswood parish)[27] in 1912[29] and Nork (1930),[30] and in the Victorian era at Sidlow (1861)[31] and South Merstham (1898).[21] The last named church was destroyed by a World War II bomb and had to be rebuilt; designed by E.F. Starling and opened in 1951, the new building may have been the first postwar church built for the Diocese of Southwark. Nearby, the Church of the Epiphany was founded in 1955 on a housing estate built by London County Council near Merstham railway station,[32] and in the same year St Peter's Church was built to serve housing development south of Reigate town centre.[33] (Both of the 1955 churches closed within 60 years: St Peter's went out of use in 2008,[33] and the Diocese of Southwark closed the Church of the Epiphany in January 2015[34] and revoked its marriage licence with effect from 30 April that year.)[35] Horley's rapid postwar growth also necessitated the opening of two churches to supplement St Bartholomew's: St Francis and St Wilfrid date from 1958[36] and 1970[37] respectively; and at Salfords, a residential area north of Horley, a church was completed in 1967.[38] Two unusual Anglican churches can be found on Reigate Heath: a tin tabernacle opened in 1907,[39] and 27 years earlier the roundhouse of an 18th-century windmill was converted into the Chapel of St Cross (now Reigate Mill Church).[40] English Heritage state that this is "probably the only windmill in England in use as a church".[41]
For many years, Redhill was the only local place of worship for Roman Catholics. The first chapel, built in 1860[8] and registered in 1862,[42] was superseded by St Joseph's Church in the High Street in 1898.[8] This building was deregistered in 1984 and demolished,[43] and a new church with the same dedication was built in its place. Reigate's Catholic church opened in 1938, but the 1960s saw the denomination's most rapid growth locally. Merstham's church was built in 1958–59[32] and registered in 1960.[44] At Tadworth, a temporary church also registered in that year[45] was replaced in 1966 by the present St John the Evangelist's Church.[46] A similar thing happened in Horley, where the original Church of the English Martyrs on Ladbroke Road (registered for marriages in 1941)[47] was superseded in 1962 by a new building on Vicarage Lane.[48] Redhill was also the local centre for Baptist worship of various styles. Charles Spurgeon helped to found the General Baptist cause there, and a town-centre chapel (1868) was superseded by the present building in 1961. The Redhill church helped or founded the present Merstham (1897), Earlswood (1909) and Reigate (1995) Baptist churches.[49] Meanwhile, Strict Baptists have chapels at Station Road in Redhill town centre and Shaw's Corner at the Reigate border.[50]
Congregations of the United Reformed and Methodist Churches are found in Banstead (established in 1940 and 1934 respectively),[51] Redhill (where the Congregational and Presbyterian causes date from 1860 and 1901 respectively,[52] and both Primitive and Wesleyan Methodist chapels were numerous by the early 20th century)[8] and Reigate, where the High Street had Victorian chapels serving both denominations for many years.[53] The Methodist chapel is still there, but the United Reformed Church is now in a 1970s building in the South Park suburb.[54] One of Redhill's Methodist churches—the Wesleyan chapel in Earlswood, registered for marriages[55] in 1900—was later acquired by a Muslim group and converted into the Jamia Masjid Al Mustafa.[56] Brethren groups of various types are also strong in the area. Some churches now characterised as Evangelical originally had an Open Brethren character, such as Sandcross Church;[57] others such as Lee Street Church,[58] Woodlands Chapel[59] and Shrewsbury Chapel[60] still do. The Plymouth Brethren group have a main meeting hall on the edge of Horley, at Whitmore Way; this was registered in 1992,[61] but a meeting room (still extant as a local meeting room) existed at The Grove by 1963[62] and two other local meeting rooms exist in Earlswood.
Religious affiliation
According to the United Kingdom Census 2011, 137,835 people lived in the borough of Reigate and Banstead. Of these, 61.9% identified themselves as Christian, 1.91% were Muslim, 1.36% were Hindu, 0.45% were Buddhist, 0.21% were Jewish, 0.15% were Sikh, 0.35% followed another religion, 26.31% claimed no religious affiliation and 7.35% did not state their religion. The proportion of Christians was much higher than the 59.38% in England as a whole. Adherents of Islam, Judaism and Sikhism and Buddhism were much less prevalent in the district than in England overall: in 2011, 5.02% of people in England were Muslim, 0.79% were Sikh, 0.49% were Jewish and 0.45% were Buddhist. The proportions of people who followed Hinduism and religions not mentioned in the Census were slightly lower than the national figures of 1.52% and 0.43% respectively, and the proportion of people with no religious affiliation was higher than the 24.74% recorded at a national level.[63]
Administration
Anglican churches
Administratively, Reigate and Banstead borough is split between two Church of England dioceses: the Anglican Diocese of Southwark, the seat of which is Southwark Cathedral in London,[64] and the Diocese of Guildford, whose cathedral is at Guildford in Surrey.[65] Five churches are part of the Diocese of Guildford's Epsom Deanery, one of six deaneries in the Archdeaconry of Dorking: these are the churches at Banstead, Burgh Heath, Nork, Tattenham Corner and Walton-on-the-Hill.[66] The Diocese of Southwark's Reigate Deanery, part of the Reigate Archdeaconry and the Croydon Episcopal Area,[67] covers the six churches in Reigate, three each in Horley, Merstham and Redhill, and those at Chipstead, Gatton, Kingswood, Lower Kingswood, Salfords, Sidlow, Tadworth and Woodmansterne.[68][69]
Roman Catholic churches
The borough's five Roman Catholic churches are administered by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton, whose cathedral is at Arundel in West Sussex.[70] The churches at Merstham, Redhill and Reigate—which together[71] form the three-church Parish of the Nativity of the Lord—are part of the Redhill Deanery, one of 13 deaneries in the diocese. Banstead and Tadworth's churches are in the Epsom Deanery.[72]
Other denominations
Earlswood, Horley, Merstham, Redhill and Reigate Baptist Churches are within the Gatwick Network of the South Eastern Baptist Association.[73] The East Surrey District of the neighbouring London Baptist Association administers Woodmansterne Baptist Church.[74] The Sutton Methodist Circuit includes two of Reigate and Banstead's Methodist congregations—at Banstead and Tattenham Corner[75] (based at St Mark's United Church, a joint Anglican and Methodist place of worship).[76] The Redhill & East Grinstead Methodist Circuit covers Horley, Redhill and Reigate's Methodist churches.[77][78] The Southern Synod, one of 13 synods of the United Reformed Church in the United Kingdom,[79] administers that denomination's churches at Banstead,[80] Redhill,[81] Reigate[82] and Walton-on-the-Hill.[83] Lower Kingswood Evangelical Free Church at Lower Kingswood, Merland Rise Church at Tadworth and Tollgate Evangelical Church at South Earlswood are members of two Evangelical groups: the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC),[84][85][86] a pastoral and administrative network of about 500 churches with an evangelical outlook;[87] and Affinity (formerly the British Evangelical Council), a network of conservative Evangelical congregations throughout Great Britain.[88][89] Lee Street Church in Horley is one of 11 churches in the South East region[90] of Partnership UK, a charitable incorporated organisation which acts as a support network for independent and self-governing churches.[91]

Grade | Notes | Refs |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
All Saints Church | Banstead 51.3221°N 0.2008°W |
Anglican | II* | Externally the appearance of this small stone and flint church relates to G.E. Street's restoration in 1861, but it is "very rewarding inside" because of features such as the unusual arcades with a mixture of chamfered and unchamfered arches and one "very curious" octagonal pier. The wide tower has a shingled broach spire. The building dates from the late 12th to early 13th century. | [10][92] [51][93] | |
ChristChurch Banstead | Banstead 51.3236°N 0.1971°W |
Evangelical | – | The present building of 1971 (extended in 1976 and subsequently) is the successor to a modest tin tabernacle dating from the early 20th century, erected on land bought in 1896. The 250-capacity iron and timber building was damaged in World War II, and by 1970 the congregation had outgrown it. The cause was originally a non-denominational mission; worship originally took place in a house, and the church was officially founded in March 1907. At that time it was the only Nonconformist church to serve Banstead, Chipstead and Woodmansterne. Renamed Banstead Baptist Church in 1960, it was rededicated under its present name on 8 September 2013. | [10][51] [94][95] [96] | |
Banstead Methodist Church | Banstead 51.3184°N 0.2131°W |
Methodist | – | A combined school and Wesleyan chapel in Burgh Heath served Methodists in the Banstead area until a church was built near Nork Park in 1934–35 (it opened on 9 February 1935, five months after construction started). The site had been acquired in 1926. The building was structurally unsound and was demolished in 1971; it was then rebuilt on the same site but in a different style. | [51][97] [98] | |
St Ann's Church | Banstead 51.3215°N 0.2116°W |
Roman Catholic | – | Worship originally took place in a hut which was registered for marriages in July 1936. This "unpretentious" permanent church, of brick with a tiled roof, replaced it in 1950; its marriage licence dates from August of that year. C.W. Glover and Partners were the architects, J.H. Alleyn rebuilt the sanctuary in 1955 and more additions were made in the 1960s and 1970s. | [51][99] [100][101] [102] | |
Banstead United Reformed Church | Banstead 51.3248°N 0.1937°W |
United Reformed Church | – | Banstead Congregational Church was officially constituted in 1946, but worship had been taking place in the local school since 1940. A permanent church was founded on 10 June 1950 and finished a year later, and it was extended in 1957, 1962 and 2000. Its marriage registration dates from July 1952. | [51][103] [104][105] | |
St Mary's Church | ![]() |
Burgh Heath 51.3073°N 0.2178°W |
Anglican | L | The long-vanished church at Burgh Heath, which later became part of the parish of Banstead, was succeeded by a chequered flint and stone replacement built to the design of architects Whitfield and Thomas in 1908–09. The nave has aisles on both sides. | [5][10] [106] |
St John the Evangelist's Church | Earlswood 51.2294°N 0.1764°W |
Anglican | II* | Redhill's oldest church stands on Earlswood Common and was built in three stages: 1842–43 by J.T. Knowles, 1867 by Ford & Robert Hesketh, and 1889–95 by John Loughborough Pearson. Flint and limestone were the early materials, to which Pearson added pale stock brickwork when he revamped the chancel and nave and built the landmark corner tower and spire. | [8][107] [108] | |
Earlswood Baptist Church | Earlswood 51.2301°N 0.1667°W |
Baptist | – | Redhill Baptist Church founded a Baptist mission in the suburb of Earlswood in 1909. The original tin tabernacle was replaced by the present larger building in 1978; this was registered for marriages in December of that year. Improvements were made in 1997 (when the church hall was built) and 2008, and since 1987 the church has been independent of the Redhill cause. | [109][110] [111] | |
Jamia Masjid Al Mustafa | Earlswood 51.2281°N 0.1722°W |
Muslim | – | The building was registered as a Wesleyan Methodist church between December 1900 and May 1937. In 1978, a Muslim society which had formed that year in Redhill bought it and converted it into a 500-capacity mosque. It is linked to the Barelvi movement of Sunni Islam. Under its present identity it was registered for marriages in August 2007. | [112][113] [55][56] [114][115] | |
Meeting Room | ![]() |
Earlswood 51.2321°N 0.1669°W |
Plymouth Brethren | – | This Brethren meeting room at the junction of Redstone Road and Hooley Lane has been registered for marriages since April 1971. It is under the trusteeship of the main meeting hall for this area, at Whitmore Way in Horley. | [116][117] [118] |
Meeting Room | Earlswood 51.2280°N 0.1732°W |
Plymouth Brethren | – | This meeting room on Woodlands Road is also linked to the main meeting hall at Whitmore Way in Horley. | [118][119] | |
St Andrew's Church | Gatton 51.2608°N 0.1736°W |
Anglican | I | The 13th-century church of the Gatton Park estate was rebuilt from its Perpendicular Gothic origins in the 18th century and again in 1834, when Lord Monson commissioned E. Webb to redesign it as a "picturesque Gothick composition". A covered path once ran from the north transept to the house. The tower rises in three stages and is very slim. | [22][120] [121] | |
St Margaret's Church | ![]() |
Hooley 51.2923°N 0.1608°W |
Anglican | I | Most parts of this large village church are 13th-century, and a blocked 12th-century window survives. The tower of 1631 straddles the crossing of the cruciform building, whose walls are of flint and stone. There is also some brickwork to the tower. Norman Shaw added the north aisle and some other parts in 1883. Sir Edward Banks is commemorated by a monument inside. | [19][20] [122] |
St Bartholomew's Church | Horley 51.1698°N 0.1758°W |
Anglican | I | The church stands between the A23 Brighton Road and the River Mole and has 14th-century origins. Before the Reformation it was dedicated to St Mary the Virgin. The present appearance is attributable to Arthur Blomfield's restoration (called an "obliteration" by Ian Nairn) in 1881. The north doorway and north arcade retain their 14th-century appearances, though. | [9][18] [123] | |
St Francis' Church | Horley 51.1708°N 0.1576°W |
Anglican | – | The church was built on the Balcombe Road in 1958 as a combined worship centre and hall. The church section of the simple l-shaped building also has vestries to one side. | [36] | |
St Wilfrid's Church | Horley 51.1804°N 0.1707°W |
Anglican | – | Constructed of concrete in 1970 using the portal framing technique, the l-shaped building has a church section and a hall section which link together. There is an entrance on the south side and vestries to the west. | [37] | |
Horley Baptist Church (new building) | Horley 51.1753°N 0.1739°W |
Baptist | – | Plans for the new church, replacing the smaller 1881 building, were revealed in 2012. The church bought the former Court Lodge Primary School, demolished it and built a new church and care home in its place. Worship and activities took place in another building on the site and at Oakwood School while this happened in 2014–15. The new two-storey church was designed by MEB Design Ltd, and building contractors Caldera Construction carried out the £1.75m building project. It was registered for marriages in November 2015. | [124][125] [126][127] [128] | |
Horley Methodist Church | Horley 51.1727°N 0.1675°W |
Methodist | – | Horley's first Methodist church belonged to the Primitive Methodists; Wesleyans met in a room from 1909 then a hall from 1911, and the Primitive Methodist congregation joined in the 1930s. Growth in the congregation by the late 1950s necessitated a new building—a cruciform structure which was opened on 11 June 1960. | [9][129] [130] | |
Gatwick Islamic Centre | Horley 51.1732°N 0.1613°W |
Muslim | – | This mosque and community centre is operated by the Gatwick Bangladeshi Islamic Community Association. When it opened in September 2011, it brought to an end a peripatetic 11-year period in which worshippers had used various rented halls and rooms in the town. The congregation is drawn from Horley and several neighbouring towns. | [131] | |
Southlands Christian Church | Horley 51.1731°N 0.1616°W |
Non-denominational | – | Covenant Community Church International was founded in 2003 in Horley and took its present name the next year. The church occupied a building in nearby Salfords between 2007 and 2011, but this was destroyed by fire and another former office building—this time on Horley High Street—is now used. | [132] | |
Lee Street Church | Horley 51.1783°N 0.1798°W |
Open Brethren | – | Originally known as Lee Street Hall, this was registered for the use of Open (Christian) Brethren in 1965. As of 2002, Sunday services were held at the church and there were Wednesday home groups. | [58][133] [134] | |
Grove Meeting Room | Horley 51.1695°N 0.1593°W |
Plymouth Brethren | – | Plymouth Brethren had a place of worship in the town by 1911, and a building on this site was recorded as being in existence in 1963. The registration for worship dates from May 1984. | [9][135] [62] | |
Meeting Room | Horley 51.1765°N 0.1846°W |
Plymouth Brethren | – | Standing on Whitmore Way in the town is the local centre for Plymouth Brethren worship. It was granted a marriage registration in March 1992. | [61][136] | |
Church of the English Martyrs | Horley 51.1751°N 0.1713°W |
Roman Catholic | – | "One of the first churches in the county in the modern style" (i.e. post-Gothic Revival and post-Second Vatican Council) was designed by J.H. Alleyn in 1961–62. There are similarities with his church at Ewell: the use of yellow brick, windows set in triangular sections and containing stained glass by Pierre Fourmaintraux, and a bell tower (here, completely detached from the octagonal main building). It was registered for marriages in March 1962. | [123][137] [48][138] | |
St Andrew's Church | Kingswood 51.2857°N 0.2195°W |
Anglican | II | The design of Benjamin Ferrey's parish church for Kingswood village was based on that of the 14th-century St John the Baptist's Church at Shottesbrooke, Berkshire. It was funded by Thomas Alcock and was built between 1848 and 1852. The tall tower and spire are at the centre of the cruciform building, which has transepts, a chancel and a shorter nave. Flint and stone are the main materials. | [27][139] [13][140] | |
Church of the Wisdom of God | Lower Kingswood 51.2692°N 0.2116°W |
Anglican | I | A "most remarkable" church, especially for its opulent interior, this was designed by Sidney Barnsley in 1891 at the request of Edwin Freshfield and Cosmo Bonsor. The Free Byzantine brick exterior leads to a nave and chancel without any separation and a polygonal apse. Corinthian capitals inside include some from the 4th and 6th centuries, retrieved from churches and other sites in Ephesus and Constantinople. | [27][28] [141] | |
Lower Kingswood Evangelical Free Church | Lower Kingswood 51.2702°N 0.2097°W |
Evangelical | – | This originated as a mission hall from an Evangelical cause at Tadworth. The original tin tabernacle was superseded by a single-storey wooden building in 1931; this was demolished and replaced by the larger brick-built present church in 2008. It opened on 2 November of that year and was registered for marriages in May 2009. The Tadworth church closed in 1972 and its members joined this church. A partnership with Tollgate Evangelical Church in Earlswood is now in place. | [142][143] | |
St Katharine's Church | Merstham 51.2687°N 0.1520°W |
Anglican | II* | The church stands on the rising slope of the North Downs well away from the centre of the present urban area. It is a solid, heavy building of flint and stone quarried in Merstham; some Bath Stone dressings were added during Victorian restoration work. The tower was built in the 1220s and has a broach spire. Much 13th-century work survives inside. The five bells date from between the 14th century and 1774. | [32][144] [21][145] | |
All Saints Church | Merstham 51.2566°N 0.1505°W |
Anglican | – | Princess Frederica of Hanover laid the first stone of South Merstham's new parish church in July 1897. It opened seven months later. A red-brick Early English Gothic Revival building, it had cost £2,300.

A permanent chapel was opened on Station Road on 21 July 1858 at a cost of £850. It has an appearance somewhere between Georgian and Classical with its plain, simple stock brick façade and a "humble" lack of details (except the stone below the gable inscribed Baptist chapel erected 1858). The three bays are symmetrical and have a central gabled porch. The round-arched windows have red-brick dressings. The chapel is currently being used for services by the Redhill Tabernacle which is part the Redeemed Christian Church of God, a Pentecostal church originally founded in Nigeria. | [8][153] [50][171] [172][173] [174] | |

The first building (1689–c. 1798) was altered in the latter year, but was replaced in 1856 or 1857 by a new meeting house in the same location. This had red brick walls with stone dressings and a Tuscan-columned semicircular porch. In turn this was demolished in 1984 and the land was used to build sheltered housing and a smaller modern place of worship. | [8][178] [185][186] [187] | |
Church of the Holy Family | Reigate 51.2414°N 0.2072°W |

St Peter's Church | Walton-on-the-Hill 51.2818°N 0.2468°W |
Anglican | II* | The 15th-century flint-built church retains little of its original appearance: architect Daniel Alexander, Jr. undertook a restoration in 1818, concentrating on the tower, and more renewal work was carried out in 1870 and 1895. The "small but remarkable" lead font has been dated to the 1150s, almost certainly making it Britain's oldest such font. A carved wooden desk inside has a Bible attached to a chain which came from Salisbury Cathedral (the Bible is newer than the chain: it was printed in 1795). | [15][214] [215] | |
Kosmon Sanctuary | Walton-on-the-Hill 51.2830°N 0.2510°W |

This was registered for marriages in March 1912. | [15][218] [219][220] | |
Reigate Baptist Church | Woodhatch 51.2252°N 0.1965°W |

The building has been added to in order to accommodate its growing congregation. Present membership stands at about 75. Under the name Coulsdon and Woodmansterne Baptist Church, the church was registered for marriages in August 1939. | [227][228] [229] | |

Baptist | – | The "excellent set of buildings" on Albert Road (comprising church, schoolroom, vestries and house) were built in 1881 for a Calvinistic Baptist congregation. By 2010 the 180-capacity building was too small, and in October 2012 the church acquired the Court Lodge Primary School a short distance away. This was demolished and replaced with a new larger church and 60-capacity care home in 2014–15. On 23 March 2013 the old church building was put up for sale; it is now a nursery school. | [9][231] [124][125] [232][233] | |

Strict Baptist | – | This chapel was built in around 1854 "for the benefit of elderly people who found it difficult to get to [the Strict Baptist chapels] at Brockham Green or Lee Street [in Horley]". It soon became associated with Independent Calvinists and continued in use in that guise until the 1880s. After a long period of closure, it reopened as a Strict Baptist chapel in the late 1930s and was registered for marriages in November 1936. It later became the venue for the new Reigate Baptist Church, and closed when their new building in Woodhatch was registered in 2006. | [8][222] [238][239] | |
Canada Hall | Merstham 51.2565°N 0.1508°W |

After that it became the church hall—but was later used for worship once again when it was offered to the Catholic Church as a temporary Mass venue before St Teresa's Church was built. | [32][149] | |
Church of the Epiphany | Merstham 51.2621°N 0.1417°W |
Anglican | – | London County Council built a large council estate near Merstham railway station in the 1950s. Anglican services began in a house in November 1952, and a permanent church was founded on 11 June 1955. Its dedication as The Church of the Epiphany came on 4 February 1956. Subsidence was discovered in 2012 and was found to be too costly to repair, so it was announced that the building would close within three years.
