Salisbury United Reformed Church

The Presbyterian or Independent Church in Salisbury dates from 1662, with the ejection of the Revd. John Strickland from St. Edmunds Church. The congregation met in various private houses until 1702 when a chapel was built in Salt Lane. Disagreements over doctrine led to a group breaking away and building the congregational chapel in Scots Lane in 1757. A secession from this chapel in 1806 led to the erection of the Endless Street chapel. In 1860 the two were re-united; services were re-united; services were held at Endless Street and Scots Lane was used as the British School until 1888 and as the Sunday school until 1890. In 1879 a new church was built in Fisherton Street; Endless Street was sold in 1878 and Scots Lane in 1890.

In 1972 the United Reformed Church was formed.
