About

The original modest chapel on this site was replaced by this handsome building in 1801. This was as a result of the popularity of the resident preacher Reverend Joseph Billio. His enthusiasm and inspirational energy had caused the congregation to grow to such an extent that new premises were needed to accommodate them.

A blue plaque on the building commemorates this charismatic Maldon figure. Visitors are very welcome, with a regular Sunday service at 10.30am plus occasional afternoon services and social events.
