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. There are 70 places of worship in active use and a further 13 at which religious services are no longer held but which survive in alternative uses.^{[citation needed]}

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 Christian Church 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 2022^[update] (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]

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, St Mary's Church [Wikidata], 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]

Primitive and Wesleyan Methodist chapels were numerous in the area by the early 20th century.^[8] The Methodist Statistical Returns published in 1947^{[note 2]} recorded the existence of former Primitive Methodist chapels in Redhill (Brighton Road) and Reigate (one in Lesbourne Road and another in the Meadvale area), and chapels of Wesleyan origin in Banstead, Burgh Heath, Earlswood, Horley, Redhill (London Road), Reigate (High Street) and South Merstham.^[52] Congregations of Methodists still meet in Banstead, Horley, Redhill and Reigate, but only the last named still occupy their original chapel (erected in 1884).^[53] Replacement churches were built in Banstead, Horley and Redhill in 1971,^[54] 1960^[55] and 1992^[56] respectively. The chapels at Burgh Heath and South Merstham have closed and are no longer extant, but the two ex-Primitive Methodist chapels in Reigate survive in alternative uses, and Earlswood's ex-Wesleyan chapel^{[note 3]} was acquired by a Muslim group and converted into the Jamia Masjid Al Mustafa.^[58]

Congregations of the United Reformed Church^{[note 4]} are found in Banstead (established in 1940),^[60] Redhill (where the Congregational and Presbyterian causes date from 1860 and 1901 respectively)^[61] and Reigate, where the Victorian chapel on the High Street was replaced by a 1970s building in the South Park suburb.^[53][62] 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;^[63] others such as Lee Street Church,^[64] Woodlands Chapel^[65] and Shrewsbury Chapel^[66] still do. The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church have a main meeting hall on the edge of Horley, at Whitmore Way; this was registered in 1992,^[67] but a meeting room (still extant as a local facility) existed at The Grove by 1963^[68] and two other local meeting rooms exist in Earlswood.^[69][70]

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.^[71]

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,^[72] and the Diocese of Guildford, whose cathedral is at Guildford in Surrey.^[73] 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.^[74] The Diocese of Southwark's Reigate Deanery, part of the Reigate Archdeaconry and the Croydon Episcopal Area,^[75] 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.^[76][77]

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.^[78] The churches at Merstham, Redhill and Reigate—which together^[79] 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.^[80]

Earlswood, Horley, Merstham, Redhill and Reigate Baptist Churches are within the Gatwick Network of the South Eastern Baptist Association.^[81] The East Surrey District of the neighbouring London Baptist Association administers Woodmansterne Baptist Church.^[82] The Sutton Methodist Circuit includes two of Reigate and Banstead's Methodist congregations—at Banstead and Tattenham Corner^[83] (based at St Mark's United Church, a joint Anglican and Methodist place of worship).^[84] The Redhill & East Grinstead Methodist Circuit covers Horley, Redhill and Reigate's Methodist churches.^[85][86] The Southern Synod, one of 13 synods of the United Reformed Church in the United Kingdom,^[87] administers that denomination's churches at Banstead,^[88] Redhill,^[89] Reigate^[90] and Walton-on-the-Hill.^[91] 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),^[92][93][94] a pastoral and administrative network of about 500 churches with an evangelical outlook;^[95] and Affinity (formerly the British Evangelical Council), a network of conservative Evangelical congregations throughout Great Britain.^[96][97] Lee Street Church in Horley is one of 11 churches in the South East region^[98] of Partnership UK, a charitable incorporated organisation which acts as a support network for independent and self-governing churches.^[99]

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][100] [60][101]

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. A marriage licence was granted in April 1914. Renamed Banstead Baptist Church in 1960, it was rededicated under its present name on 8 September 2013.	[10][60] [102][103] [104][105]

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.	[60][108] [109][110] [111]

A permanent church was founded on 10 June 1950 and finished a year later, at which point it was registered for worship, and the building was extended in 1957, 1962 and 2000. Its marriage registration dates from July 1952.	[60][112] [113][114]

The nave has aisles on both sides.	[5][10] [115]
St John the Evangelist's Church (More images)		Earlswood 51°13′46″N 0°10′35″W / 51.2294°N 0.1764°W / 51.2294; -0.1764 (St John the Evangelist's Church, Earlswood)	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][116] [117]

The original tin tabernacle was replaced by the present larger building in 1978; this was registered for worship and 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.	[118][119] [120]
Jamia Masjid Al-Mustafa (More images)		Earlswood 51°13′41″N 0°10′20″W / 51.2281°N 0.1722°W / 51.2281; -0.1722 (Jamia Masjid Al Mustafa, Earlswood)	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.	[121][122] [123][58] [57][124]

St Andrew's Church (More images)		Gatton 51°15′39″N 0°10′25″W / 51.2608°N 0.1736°W / 51.2608; -0.1736 (St Andrew's Church, Gatton)	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][127] [128]
Royal Alexandra and Albert School Chapel (More images)		Gatton 51°15′45″N 0°10′26″W / 51.2624°N 0.1740°W / 51.2624; -0.1740 (Royal Alexandra and Albert School Chapel, Gatton)	Non-denominational	–	Although principally for use by the school, this chapel (built in 1956 to the design of Adams, Gray and Adamson, the firm which had designed the school's dormitories two years earlier) was registered for public worship and for the solemnisation of marriages in July 1987.	[129][130] [131]

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] [132]
St Bartholomew's Church (More images)		Horley 51°10′11″N 0°10′33″W / 51.1698°N 0.1758°W / 51.1698; -0.1758 (St Bartholomew's Church, Horley)	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] [133]
St Francis' Church (More images)		Horley 51°10′15″N 0°09′27″W / 51.1708°N 0.1576°W / 51.1708; -0.1576 (St Francis' Church, Horley)	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 (More images)		Horley 51°10′49″N 0°10′15″W / 51.1804°N 0.1707°W / 51.1804; -0.1707 (St Wilfrid's Church, Horley)	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) (More images)		Horley 51°10′31″N 0°10′26″W / 51.1753°N 0.1739°W / 51.1753; -0.1739 (Horley Baptist Church, Horley)	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. The first service was held on 5 July 2015, and it was registered for marriages in November of the same year.	[134][135] [136][137] [138][139]
Horley Methodist Church (More images)		Horley 51°10′22″N 0°10′03″W / 51.1727°N 0.1675°W / 51.1727; -0.1675 (Horley Methodist Church, Horley)	Methodist	–	Horley's first Methodist church belonged to the Primitive Methodists; Wesleyans met in a room from 1909 then a hall from 1911 (registered as Wesley Hall in March 1918), 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][55] [140][141]
Gatwick Islamic Centre (More images)		Horley 51°10′24″N 0°09′41″W / 51.1732°N 0.1613°W / 51.1732; -0.1613 (Gatwick Islamic Centre, Horley)	Muslim	–	This mosque and community centre is operated by the Gatwick Bangladeshi Islamic Community Association.

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 worship and for marriages in March 1962. An earlier church of the same dedication had been registered in 1941.	[133][147] [48][148] [47]

The congregation moved to a new site on Weldon Way on the London County Council's housing estate in 1958, and it was registered in July 1959. A proposal to demolish the new building and replace it with a replacement church and houses was first mentioned in 2002; demolition has taken place and the church meets in a temporary building on the site.

Mew designed this new red-brick church for the north of Redhill in 1906. The red-brick and Bath Stone building lacks its intended corner tower. In 1967, E.F. Starling added the entrance porch to the Perpendicular Gothic Revival church, and more works took place in 1991 and 2004. A parish was created in 1907 out of St Matthew's territory.	[8][26] [163]

Strict Baptist ministry in Redhill began in 1855 when some worshippers who had used the old chapel at Tadworth rented a schoolroom for services. 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.	[8][164] [50][174] [175][176] [177][178] [179]

It is this church which survives as Redhill's only United Reformed Church. After the Congregational and Presbyterian Churches came together to form the new denomination in 1972, the Chapel Road and Shaw's Corner buildings continued as St Paul's Church and Christ Church respectively; but in 1987, an interregnum and the discovery of dry rot at Christ Church resulted in the two congregations uniting and moving into the Shaw's Corner building under the new name Redhill United Reformed Church.

Renamed Bethel, it was used until 1883 when a new building with the same name was built on Chapel Lane. The first service was held on 14 May 1883. Prime Minister David Lloyd George and his secretary came to a service unannounced in 1918. The chapel was registered for marriages in November 1905.	[10][224] [225][226]

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][230] [231]
