| Union Street BN1 1HA Old Town conservation area. |
North-west entrance to The Lanes, which appears to have been named part of Meeting House Lane at one time. The name is said to commemorate the Congregational Union of 1832 that united the Presbyterian, Unitarian and Independent churches but in fact was in use no later than 1822, when there were six properties in the street, including the Union Chapel. 1-5, an early 19th century terrace rebuilt in the late 20th century, are Grade II listed1. ph 6, Bath Arms, which includes 4-5 Meeting House Lane, is Grade II listed2. 9-10 are Grade II listed3. 10 was the offices of Brighton Gazette, Hove Post & Surrey & Sussex Telegraph from c1905. 11 Magnus Volk had premises here as a watch and clock maker in the 1840s.  The Meeting House was built 1698 for a congregation formed in 1688 after the Act of Toleration. It was enlarged and repaired in 1810, when the premises were released in an indenture signed between Rev James Buckoll of Liddington, Gloucstershire and James Vallance and William Wigney6. It was conveyed from Vallance and others to Edward Thomas Slater and trustee in May 18247 and partly rebuilt in March-August 1825 to a design by Amon Henry Wilds (not his father as sometimes attributed) and Charles Busby, although believed to be primarily the work of the latter. The first regular minister was Rev John Duke from 1698 to 1745, during whose incumbency other denominations started to use the chapel—hence the name. It was known as Dr Styles' Chapel during his incumbency from 1799 to 18241. John Nelson Goulty became the minister in 1824. The Union Congregation took over the church in 1878, a new organ by Conacher & Son of Huddersfield was installed in March 18815, and in 1898 the church merged with the Queen Square Congregational Church as the Union Free Church. The Glynn Vivian Miners' Mission bought it in May 1905. The evangelical missionary Henry Varley preached here from 1909 until his death in 1912. In 1927 it became the Elim Tabernacle of the Church of the Four Square Gospel until it closed in 1988 and was converted into a pub. The building and its railings are Grade II listed4.Image: Drawing by Amon Henry Wilds, engraved by William Alexander. ph The Font is the former Meeting House/Union Chapel. |
