The Congregational Church was built ca. 1852. Before that the Church members had met in members' houses and then a number of buildings in Nag's Head Lane and Clapham Old Town. (Cleal, Edward Edney, The Story of Congregationalism in Surrey, 1908).
The 1852 church was badly damaged in 1944 and demolished ca. 1960 to be replaced by a new building. That building became part of the United Reformed Church and subsequently the Maranatha Ministries World Wide Centre. There was no graveyard at the Congregational Church.
