Over United Reformed Church

Over United Reformed Church is a Grade II listed building in Winsford that combines Victorian architectural elements with traditional church design. The structure displays characteristic period details including windows, brickwork, and a classic ecclesiastical form typical of 19th-century nonconformist chapels.

Architect John Douglas designed this building in 1865 during a period of widespread chapel construction for reformed congregations across the North West. The construction reflected growing religious diversity and the expansion of nonconformist communities in Victorian England.

The church serves as a gathering place for local worship and community groups in the Over area. It remains an important social hub for residents seeking spiritual connection and local fellowship.

The building is accessible on foot from nearby streets and has straightforward access. Visitors should be aware that regular services take place inside, which may limit casual access during worship times.

John Douglas was a respected regional architect whose design principles shaped this chapel and influenced nonconformist religious buildings across the area. His architectural approach became a model for how reformed congregations envisioned their worship spaces.
