PROTESTANT NONCONFORMITY

In 1829 nonconformist worship was being conducted in a licensed house at Kelvedon Common by the Revd. D. Smith an Independent minister from Brentwood. (fn. 1) It is possible that there was some continuity between this congregation and that which later in the 19th century met in the building now used as the village hall. Services were conducted there by a visiting minister until about 1890. (fn. 2) The building is timber-framed and weather-boarded and was probably built early in the 19th century. (fn. 3)
