Broad Street Independent Chapel, Reading
Broad Street Independent Chapel, Reading, Nonconformist chapel in Reading, United Kingdom
The square interior of Broad Street Independent Chapel features encircling galleries and a domed ceiling with modillion cornice details throughout the structure.
Built in 1707, the chapel underwent modifications in 1892 with the addition of a frontage building featuring an arch topped by a tower with an octagonal turret.
This Grade II listed religious building reflects the presence of nonconformist worship traditions in Reading during the 18th and 19th centuries.
The chapel structure now functions as a Waterstone's bookshop, with modern glass-roofed conservatory connecting the frontage building to the main chapel space.
Marriage and baptism records from 1720 to 1837 remain accessible through the International Genealogical Index, including the 1761 baptism of brewery founder William Blackall Simonds.
