Background
History
The congregation formed in 1818, after several ministers from associated churches visited the town. The church originally met in a small building, just off Monnow Street. The first pastor was appointed in 1831, and the original meeting place was enlarged in 1836 to form a chapel. After becoming derelict, it was demolished in recent years to make way for a supermarket car park. The foundations of a new church in Monk Street were laid out in 1906, and the building was opened the following year.
