Former Church on Swindon Street. This was at one time, Elim Pentecostal Church. It was then leased to New Horizons church, which has since moved out. David says it has obviously been extensively restored recently, but he doesn't know what its intended future use will be. To judge by appearances, the church is also older than its use by the Elim Church. SE 244 219. © David Regan (2011). In fact it was a Unitarian Church (1866). © unitarian.co.uk. These, and many other old engravings on this website, are reproduced from the downloadable books on the Unitarian Church Headquarters website here. The books are Pictures of Unitarian Churches by Emily Sharpe (1901) and the 1914 edition of Nonconformist Church Architecture by Ronald P. Jones M.A, (Oxon), and the images are reproduced by kind permission of James Barry of Unitarian Church Headquarters. My appreciation also to Mike Berrell for his efforts in this regard.
