Wikimedia Commons has media related to Places of worship in Guildford Borough.

As of 2016, the Borough of Guildford has more than 100 current and former places of worship: 83 buildings are in use by various Christian denominations and (in the case of Guildford Synagogue) Jews, and a further 21 are no longer in religious use but survive and are used for various purposes. Guildford is one of 11 local government districts in the English county of Surrey—a small inland county south of London which is characterised by market towns, ancient villages and 20th-century suburbs. The ancient and important town of Guildford, which gives the borough its name, is also the county town.[1]

The latest census results show that the majority of residents are Christian. The Church of England—the country's Established Church—is represented by the largest number of churches. The Roman Catholic Church, Methodists, Baptists and the United Reformed Church each have several congregations of their own, some of which share church buildings with other denominations. Quakers have worshipped in Guildford since the 17th century; the Congregational movement had a large following in the area; and Brethren have several meeting places around Guildford town.

English Heritage has awarded listed status to 38 current and four former places of worship in the district. A building is defined as "listed" when it is placed on a statutory register of buildings of "special architectural or historic interest" in accordance with the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.[2] The Department for Culture, Media and Sport, a Government department, is responsible for this; English Heritage, a non-departmental public body, acts as an agency of the department to administer the process and advise the department on relevant issues.[3] There are three grades of listing status. Grade I, the highest, is defined as being of "exceptional interest"; Grade II* is used for "particularly important buildings of more than special interest"; and Grade II, the lowest, is used for buildings of "special interest".[4] As of February 2001, there were 30 Grade I-listed buildings, 40 with Grade II* status and 975 Grade II-listed buildings in Guildford borough.[5]

Overview of the borough and its places of worship

Guildford borough is in the west of Surrey.

Guildford is the second largest local government district in the county of Surrey, and the most populous: there were approximately 134,400 residents in 2007[6] and 137,183 at the time of the United Kingdom Census 2011.[7] The borough covers about 104 square miles (270 km2) of land in the centre and west of the county. The market town of Guildford accounts for about half the population, and there is one other large urban centre: the towns of Ash and Tongham and their surrounding estates have about 18,000 residents. The rest of the borough is largely rural, characterised by Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty associated with the North Downs interspersed with ancient, affluent villages.[6]

The present borough of Guildford is dominated by the town of Guildford itself. The ancient county town of Surrey is situated at the point where the River Wey cuts through the North Downs. Several transport routes also converge at this point, such as the Harrow Way (an ancient trackway), the old London–Portsmouth Road and various railway lines.[1] The town has been important for centuries. It was an ancient borough, the site of a Dominican friary (demolished) and a castle (extant), and a royal charter and a market were first recorded in the 13th century.[1][8] Alongside these, there were three ancient parish churches—all of which survive. St Mary's retains its 11th-century tower and was extended in the 12th and 13th centuries. Holy Trinity and St Nicholas' have both been rebuilt but still have some 13th-century features. The latter also has a private chapel, the Loseley Chapel, commemorating occupants of the nearby Loseley Park manor house.[8] The town expanded over time, especially from the 19th century when the railways arrived, and the neighbouring village of Stoke (with its 14th-century church, St John the Evangelist's) became part of the urban area. Particularly in the Victorian era, many more Anglican churches were provided as the population grew: Christ Church (1868), St Saviour (1899), Emmanuel (1904),[9] and one each in the suburban villages of Burpham (St Luke's, 1859)[10] and Merrow (St John the Evangelist's, a 12th-century church completely rebuilt in 1842).[11][note 1] As Guildford grew still further in the 20th century, churches were opened in the Onslow Village, Westborough and Wood Street Village areas and on the Park Barn and Bellfields housing estates.[12] A second church in Burpham was one of several inexpensive buildings designed for Anglican congregations in Surrey by David Evelyn Nye in the 1960s. "Bright, cheerful and well suited to modern needs", they were operationally flexible and architecturally distinctive. Within the borough, the churches at Wood Street and Bellfields were also designed by Nye.[13]

Ancient rural churches include the 12th-century St Martha-on-the-Hill, seen here from the lower ground of Albury.

Guildford town is surrounded by ancient villages, both in the countryside and on the main road and rail routes into it. Although ribbon development has turned some into low-density suburbs, many retain their centuries-old parish churches. For example, East and West Horsley and East and West Clandon form "a suburban chain from Guildford to Leatherhead",[14] but the Clandons have well-preserved Norman and 13th-century churches, and the Horsleys' churches have a Saxon tower and 11th- and 12th-century fabric respectively.[15] Southeast of here, but more isolated and very popular with tourists,[16] the cluster of villages around the River Tillingbourne at the west end of the Vale of Holmesdale supports a range of Anglican churches. The landmark St Martha's Church, a ruined 12th-century church rebuilt in 1848, stands on St Martha's Hill north of Chilworth.[17] St James's Church at Shere, "second to none in Surrey for beauty and antiquarian interest", is principally 11th- and 12th-century,[16] and Albury's original parish church in Albury Park may predate the Norman conquest of England. The centre of population moved, though, and a new church was built in 1842.[18] Holmbury St Mary and Peaslake both have 19th-century churches as well: formerly chapels of ease to Shere, the architecturally impressive buildings date from 1879 and 1889 respectively.[16] Nearby, a 19th-century barn in the even more isolated hamlet of Farley Green was converted into a church after being presented to the parish of Albury. Elsewhere in the borough, medieval churches (restored to various degrees in the Victorian era) survive in the villages of Compton, Effingham, Ockham, Pirbright, Puttenham, Ripley, Seale, Send, Shalford, Wanborough, Wisley and Worplesdon. Ash and Tongham, now part of the Blackwater Valley conurbation, also retain their old parish churches.[15]

Ian Nairn said Effingham's Roman Catholic church "looks more medieval than the [Anglican] parish church",[19] but it dates from 1913.

Roman Catholic worship was outlawed for many years until the end of the 18th century, although some owners of country estates covertly kept the faith. The Guildford Catholic Mission began in 1857 when the priest from St Edward's Church, Sutton Park[note 2] began to celebrate Mass above a shop. In 1860 St Joseph's Church was built; it was replaced by a larger church on a different site in 1984. The west of Guildford is served by St Mary's Catholic Church, which dates from 1964 but whose origins lie in a Mass centre opened at Rydes Hill Preparatory School, a Catholic private school. The suburbs of Burpham and Merrow gained Catholic churches of their own in 1960 and 1973 respectively, although Burpham's closed in 2003 and St Pius X's Church at Merrow now serves both areas. The Church of the Holy Angels (1934) serves the Ash area,[20] and the "nicely composed and well detailed" Church of Our Lady of Sorrows opened in Effingham in 1913.[21] A small church served Catholics in the Gomshall area from the 1960s until 2007, although it remains in religious use as a Coptic Orthodox church. Most of the money was raised locally—especially by means of regular bingo games in nearby Shere, resulting in its nickname of "Bingo Chapel".[22]

West Horsley Methodist Church is one of many 19th-century Nonconformist chapels in the borough.

Protestant Nonconformism was strong in the area in the 19th century, and many chapels associated with Nonconformist denominations survive—although not all remain in religious use. An Independent chapel was built in 1802 in the centre of Guildford; it later became associated with the Congregational movement, and after a large new Congregational church opened in 1863 it became a Sunday school before being converted into a restaurant.[23] Guildford Congregational Church on North Street was demolished and replaced by the present United Reformed Church[note 3] building nearby in 1965. A Congregational chapel was founded in Gomshall in 1825 and is still used by the United Reformed Church.[24] Elsewhere, there were Congregational chapels or mission halls at Compton (1876), Normandy (Willey Green) (1825), Holmbury St Mary (Felday Chapel; 1825), Pirbright (1868) and Rydes Hill (1862).[25] All have closed, but the 1822 chapel at Worplesdon[26] remains in use as a United Reformed Church[27] and in 1985 the former telephone exchange at Normandy was converted into a chapel to replace the building at Willey Green.[28] Westborough[29] and Bellfields in Guildford also have United Reformed congregations, the latter as part of St Peter's Shared Church which is also used by Anglicans.[30]

Baptists established fewer churches but can trace their local origins back further. Charcoal Barn Chapel at Tunsgate, now demolished, is the parent of four congregations in Guildford town. The present Chertsey Street Baptist Church met at the old chapel (converted from a barn in the 1680s) until 1953 and is its direct successor. Next came Guildford Baptist Church—founded in 1837 and now occupying its third building, the Millmead Centre; then Bethel Strict Baptist Chapel, founded in 1879 by Calvinist seceders; and in 1992, Guildford Park Church—a declining Evangelical church reinvigorated by a church plant from Chertsey Street.[31][32] Elsewhere, the Grade II-listed Ebenezer Strict Baptist Chapel at Ripley has been open since 1812,[33] and a newly established group (New Life Baptist Church) owns a combined church and community centre in Stoughton.[34]

Methodist chapels were built in several villages in the 19th century—Ash Vale, Burpham (for a Primitive Methodist congregation), Ripley, Shalford, Effingham and West Horsley—but only the last two named are still in use as of 2016, along with a chapel built in 1895 in the Guildford suburb of Stoughton.[9] Guildford town centre's old Methodist chapel stood alongside its Congregational equivalent on North Street until the 1960s, when both were demolished; a new Methodist church was built, but in 2013 the congregation moved out and started worshipping at St Mary's Church as part of a formal partnership between the Anglican and Methodist Churches.[35]

Locally, flint was the commonest building material for ancient churches (chancel wall of St Martin's Church, East Horsley pictured).

Building materials for churches vary across the borough. Good quality stone has never been plentiful in Surrey, but the area around Guildford yielded sarsens and puddingstone:[36] these were sometimes used in the construction of churches, as at Worplesdon[37] and Ripley[38] respectively. Bargate stone was quarried on a small scale around Guildford town and Godalming,[39] and it was used to build churches at Burpham,[40] Compton,[41] Normandy,[42] Chilworth (St Martha-on-the-Hill),[43] and Shackleford,[44] as well as St Nicolas' Church, Guildford[45] and the tower at St Lawrence's Church, Seale.[46] "Irregular veins" of carrstone also occur locally in the Lower Greensand,[39] and it can be seen (albeit obscured by rendering) at Wisley church.[47] The "curious local building practice" of galletingplacing pieces of carrstone or flint into the mortar surrounding blocks of masonryis in evidence at Pirbright.[39][48] Most common, though, was the use of flint. The prevalence of this hard stone around the North Downs made it "the obvious material to use" for medieval churchbuilders in Surrey. Flints were often laid roughly and were rarely knapped, so Surrey's flint churches lack the elegance of those in other counties.[49] Nonconformist chapels in the area are mostly brick-built with tiled roofs, in common with the rest of Surrey; although stone was sometimes used from the late 19th century,[50] as at Ward Street Chapel in Guildford.[51] David Evelyn Nye's 1960s churches used laminated wood extensively.[13]

Some of Guildford's religious buildings do not fit these general patterns. At Chilworth is a 1950s timber church.[52] A tin tabernacle survives in use at nearby Peasmarsh in Shalford parish, and back in Chilworth another (now the village hall) served as the original Anglican church. It was replaced by the former Greshambury Institute, an Arts and Crafts-style building used by workers at a printing firm.[52] Two 19th-century barns in the borough have also been converted into churches: at Farley Green in 1930,[53] and in East Horsley 25 years later.[54] Another conversion of a secular building took place in 1985, when the congregation of the Normandy United Reformed Church bought the village's redundant telephone exchange to replace their small chapel.[28]

Religious affiliation

According to the United Kingdom Census 2011, 137,183 people lived in the borough of Guildford. Of these, 60.23% identified themselves as Christian, 1.98% were Muslim, 0.95% were Hindu, 0.61% were Buddhist, 0.23% were Jewish, 0.15% were Sikh, 0.34% followed another religion, 27.78% claimed no religious affiliation and 7.73% did not state their religion. The proportions of Christians, Buddhists and people with no religious affiliation were higher than the respective percentages across England as a whole (59.38%, 0.45% and 24.74%). Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, Sikhism and other religions all had lower proportions of adherents.[7]

Administration

Anglican churches

All Anglican churches in the area are part of the Diocese of Guildford, as shown on the noticeboard at St Mary the Virgin's Church, Worplesdon.

The Diocese of Guildford administers all of the borough's Anglican churches. Its seat is Guildford Cathedral.[55] The 46 churches are grouped geographically into deaneries. The two Archdeaconries of Dorking and Surrey are an intermediate administrative level between the diocese and the deaneries: Dorking, Leatherhead and Woking deaneries are part of the Archdeaconry of Dorking and Aldershot, Cranleigh, Godalming and Guildford deaneries are in the Archdeaconry of Surrey.[56] Dorking Deanery is responsible for Holmbury St Mary's church. East Horsley, Effingham, Ockham and the two churches at West Horsley are covered by Leatherhead Deanery. Pirbright, Ripley, Send and Wisley come under Woking Deanery's control. The churches at Ash, Ash Vale and Tongham are in Aldershot Deanery. Cranleigh Deanery covers Albury, Chilworth, Farley Green, Peaslake and Shere. The churches at Compton, Puttenham, Seale, Shackleford, The Sands and Wanborough are part of Godalming Deanery. Guildford Deanery covers the borough's other churches: the village churches of East Clandon, Normandy, Peasmarsh, St Martha, Shalford, West Clandon and Worplesdon; those in Guildford's suburbs and housing estates (Bellfields, Onslow Village, Park Barn, Wood Street Village, Merrow, Stoughton, Westborough and the two in Burpham); and the town-centre churches of Christ Church, Holy Trinity, St John the Evangelist's, St Mary's, St Nicholas' and St Saviour's.[56]

Roman Catholic churches

Guildford borough has five Roman Catholic churches—in the Merrow and Rydes Hill areas of Guildford and in the town centre, at Ash and at Effingham. Effingham is administered by Epsom Deanery and the others come under Guildford Deanery; these are two of 13 deaneries in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton,[57] whose cathedral is at Arundel in West Sussex.[58]

Other denominations

Guildford Baptist Church and the New Life Baptist Church at Stoughton are part of the Guildford Network of the South Eastern Baptist Association.[59] Ebenezer Chapel in Ripley and Bethel Chapel in Guildford are Strict Baptist places of worship affiliated with the Gospel Standard movement.[60] Also in Guildford, Chertsey Street Baptist Church and Guildford Park Church maintain links with GraceNet UK, an association of Reformed Evangelical Christian churches and organisations.[61][62]

The six-church Guildford Methodist Circuit administers Merrow, Stoughton and West Horsley Methodist churches and the shared Anglican/Methodist church of St Mary's in Guildford town centre.[63] The former Shalford Methodist Church was also part of this Circuit.[64] Effingham Methodist Church is in the eight-church Dorking & Horsham Methodist Circuit.[65][66]

Guildford borough's United Reformed Church congregations are split between the Southern Synod and the Wessex Synod, two of that denomination's 13 synods in the United Kingdom.[67] The Southern Synod administers Gomshall United Reformed Church;[24] the Wessex Synod is responsible for Guildford (Portsmouth Road[68] and Westborough),[29] Normandy[69] and Worplesdon churches.[27] The Anglican/United Reformed shared church of St Peter's on the Bellfields estate in Guildford is also part of the Wessex Synod.[30]

Chilworth Free Church,[70] Horsley Evangelical Church[71] and Send Evangelical Church[72] are members of two Evangelical groups: the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC), a pastoral and administrative network of about 500 churches with an evangelical outlook,[73] and Affinity (formerly the British Evangelical Council), a network of conservative Evangelical congregations throughout Great Britain.[74] Guildford Park Church is also a member of Affinity.[75]

Roman Catholic The Southwark Catholic Mission supported Ash's early Catholic community, which had its origins in Masses said at the homes of retired World War I soldiers from nearby Aldershot. A hall was used later, but in 1931 work started on a permanent church. Architect P.A. Byrne replicated the design he used for his church at Wimborne in Dorset, but omitted the tower to keep costs down. The church, originally dedicated to St Michael and All Angels (it was renamed in the 1970s), opened on 2 December 1934. [84][85]

Anglican II Henry Woodyer's Bargate stone-built church of 1859, originally a chapel of ease to Worplesdon, consists simply of a nave and chancel divided by a chancel arch, lancet windows and an ashlar bell-cot topped by a small, thin spire. The "well-proportioned and coherent interior" has no aisles or arcades. [10][40]

Anglican II Ewan Christian designed this large church in 1868 to serve an estate of contemporary houses northeast of Guildford town centre. It was built as a chapel of ease to St John the Evangelist's Church. The style is Early English Gothic Revival. The prominent buttressed tower faces the road and rises in three stages to a parapet with battlements. The body of the church has an apsidal chancel and a nave with aisles. [9][101]

Anglican I In 1900 Thomas Graham Jackson added the north aisle and bell-tower in a complementary style to this "small and genuine" village church of the 12th and 13th centuries. The nave is the older part; the 13th-century chancel is a "rough" and early interpretation of the Early English Gothic style. A monument to Stuart Rendel, 1st Baron Rendel of nearby Hatchlands Park was designed by his grandson Harry. [15][112]

Evangelical The church was founded in 1952 in a flint barn built in 1867 on Duncombe Farm, one of many buildings in the village erected to the design of the Lovelace family—major landowners in the area. As Horsley Independent Evangelical Church it was registered for marriages in February 1955. [118][119]

Anglican II* Little ancient fabric remains in this 12th- and 13th-century church due to frequent restoration-particularly in 1888 by W.J. Shearburn (who designed the tower). The first rebuilding was as early as 1388, when William of Wykeham ordered work to be carried out following neglect by Merton Priory. Many of the windows date from the 15th century. [15][120]

Methodist A house in this village was licensed for Nonconformist worship in 1844 by members of the Wesleyan chapel at Dorking. A permanent chapel, of flint and brick with a gabled slate roof, was built in 1854, a hall was added a century later, and the interior was reordered in 1993. The chapel has been registered for marriages since June 1886. [120][122]

Roman Catholic Edward Bonner was the architect of Effingham's Catholic church, which was completed in 1913. Ian Nairn considered it more medieval in style than the genuinely 13th-century Anglican parish church. The symmetrical façade had a pyramid-capped tower flanked by aisles, and the walls are of flint. The now demolished St Alphege's Church at West Horsley was a daughter church and was served from here. [19][21]

Anglican Brook Farm was established in 1839 in this remote hamlet in Albury parish. A barn was built between 1840 and 1880 and was used for agricultural purposes until 1922. The subsequent owner of the land died in 1929 and his widow presented the barn to the parish so it could be converted into a chapel of ease in his memory. It opened in 1930. [15][53]

Coptic Orthodox In 2011 the Coptic Orthodox Church bought this former Roman Catholic chapel, which had been dedicated to St Mary of the Angels, and rededicated it to St Augustine. The church had been built in 1964 to replace a Nissen hut, and was known as the "Bingo Chapel" because residents of Gomshall and Shere raised much of the money at bingo evenings. It was part of the parish of Chilworth Friary Church (the Holy Ghost). [22][127]

United Reformed Church The chapel was opened in October 1820 by the Surrey Congregational Mission at a cost of £300, donated mostly by members of other churches. By 1869, the building had become "dilapidated and wretched", and as congregations grew it was improved and enlarged twice—in that year at a cost of £110, and again in 1887 for £524. It was registered for marriages in November 1888. Felday Chapel at Holmbury St Mary was founded as a daughter church in 1825. [16][128]

Anglican I This red-brick church of 1749–63 incorporates the Weston Chapel of 1540, which has chequerwork walls of alternating freestone and flint. The rebuilding, in a Palladian style by London architect James Horne, was prompted by the collapse of the original tower. Arthur Blomfield added the apsidal chancel in 1888. A large church on a prominent site, it is known as Guildford's "Upper Church". [8][107]

Anglican/Methodist I T. Goodchild's restoration of 1862 did not eliminate the 11th- and 12th-century fabric of this ancient parish church. The tower is the oldest part; much of the building dates from the 1180s. The chancel had an apse until it was demolished in 1825. Guildford Methodist Church officially joined St Mary's on 1 September 2013, and the church is now a joint Anglican and Methodist congregation. [8][107]

Baptist The congregation has occupied a former Primitive Methodist chapel since 1953 but can trace its origins back to the "Charcoal Barn Chapel" on Tunsgate, opened in the 1680s. Secessions in 1837 and 1879 resulted in new Baptist causes being founded in the town—respectively, the present Guildford Baptist Church and Bethel Strict Baptist Chapel. Another congregation was planted out of Chertsey Street in 1992 at the former Guildford Park Evangelical Church. [9][32]

Anglican I No more than a "tiny chapel" hidden in a farmyard, this 13th-century building (erected by monks from Waverley Abbey to replace an older church) was restored in 1862 from a ruinous condition, having been out of use for about 200 years. The walls combine flintwork, brickwork, clunch and sandstone. There is no tower or spiresimply a bell on one gable end. [15][232]

Notes

  1. Tin tabernacles which served as chapels of ease to Holy Trinity and St Nicholas' existed by 1911 in the Addison Road and Guildford Park areas respectively,[8] but no longer survive.
  2. This is in the grounds of Sutton Place, home of the Catholic Weston family. It is over the border in the adjacent Borough of Woking.
  3. The United Reformed Church denomination was formed in 1972 when the Congregational Church, the English Presbyterian Church and some smaller groups merged.
  4. i.e. Gothic of the late Decorated period.
  5. The church's own history gives 1824 for the year "when a group of Calvinist Dissenters began to meet in a room in Quarry Street",[144] but Chambers (1952) and the Chertsey Street Baptist Chapel give 1837 as the year.[32][145]
