Robertsbridge United Reformed Church, Grade II listed church in Robertsbridge, England.
Robertsbridge United Reformed Church is a classical church building with a brick facade and terracotta details on High Street. Its design combines elements of Classical, Renaissance Revival, and Gothic Revival architecture in a unified structure.
The building was completed in 1881 following a separation from a Wesleyan Methodist chapel, serving as the third Nonconformist place of worship established in the village. It stood as an active religious center for over a century before services relocated in 2015.
The building reflects how Nonconformist communities organized themselves and built their own places of worship during the Victorian era. Its presence in the village shows the importance of these independent religious movements in local life.
The church sits on the main High Street and is easy to locate within the village. Since 2015 regular services no longer take place here, so visitors come primarily to see the exterior architecture and its Grade II listed status.
Edward Piper funded the construction of this church but passed away shortly after its completion, leaving an architectural legacy in the village. His generosity shaped a building that has stood for over 140 years.
