London Street URC
Basingstoke, Hampshire
The building was originally known as the London Street Mission House and the first foundation stone was laid in 1800.
The Domesday Book of 1086 records the existence of a Church in Dummer. The oldest part is the 12th century south doorway, now a round headed window whose central stone mullion is being repaired in 2025 with help from a National Churches Trust grant.
There is a rare 15th century rood canopy, a 16th century gallery and one of the oldest pulpits in England. There is a wooden bell tower with 5 bells. The oldest bell is dated 1590.
Jane Austen is said to have worshipped here when visiting her friends, the Terry family, who lived next door.
