Richmond Green United Reformed Church was a church and congregation inRichmond, London from 1877 until 2015.
It was formed in 1877 asRichmond Presbyterian Church.[4] The church was previously located on Little Green, close toRichmond Green, in aGrade II listed building designed in aGothic Revival style by William Wallace in 1883 and built from 1884 to 1885.[5] That building remains but has been adapted for residential use.[6]
The church became aUnited Reformed Church (URC) in 1972, following the union of the Presbyterian Church of England and the Congregational Church of England and Wales.[4]
From October 2006 the congregation of Richmond Green United Reformed Church met for worship in a new building in Quadrant Road, behind the previous church building. It was joined by members of the formerEast Sheen United Reformed Church,[7] a congregation dating from the 17th century,[7] which had previously been meeting in a building in Vernon Road, dating from 1902. Designed by F C Howgate and originally known as theCongregational Church, East Sheen, it was noted for itsDoultonterracotta work and plaques.[8] TheLondon Borough of Richmond grantedplanning permission in March 2012 for the conversion of the first floorSunday school building to provide five self-containedflats.
The church closed in September 2015 and most of the remaining members joined theTwickenham United Reformed Church. The building in Quadrant Road is now the property ofRichmond upon Thames Council, and is used by Richmond Lending Library as an annex.
