List of places of worship in Reigate and Banstead facts for kids

The railway town of Redhill, one of the borough's main centres of population, has places of worship serving many groups including The Salvation Army.

The area of Reigate and Banstead in Surrey, England, is home to over 80 places where people have worshipped. About 70 of these are still used for religious services today. Another 13 buildings used to be places of worship but are now used for other things.

Most people living here are Christian, according to the 2011 census. So, most of the worship places are for Christian groups. However, there are also three mosques that opened after 1978. The Subud and Kosmon movements also have their own centres here. The Church of England has almost 30 churches. There are also six Roman Catholic churches. Many Methodists, Baptists, Evangelicals, Open Brethren, and the United Reformed Church have their own buildings. The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church has a large meeting hall in Horley and smaller ones nearby.

English Heritage has given "listed status" to 11 places of worship in Reigate and Banstead. A listed building is a special building that is important for its history or design. This helps to protect it. There are three levels of listed status:

Grade I: Buildings that are extremely important.
Grade II*: Buildings that are very important and special.
Grade II: Buildings that are important to the country.

As of 2001, the area had 5 Grade I buildings, 18 Grade II* buildings, and 388 Grade II buildings. The local council also lists "locally listed buildings," which are important to the local area. There are 526 of these, including 12 places of worship.

Exploring Reigate and Banstead

Reigate and Banstead is in the east of Surrey.

Reigate and Banstead is one of 11 local areas in Surrey, a county in southeast England, just south of London. It covers about 12,913 acres (5,226 hectares). In 2011, its population was 137,835 people. This makes it Surrey's most populated local area. It also grew the fastest between 2001 and 2009. It shares borders with parts of London, and other areas in Surrey and West Sussex.

The area is mostly towns and suburbs. It has four main towns: Horley in the south, Redhill and Reigate in the middle, and Banstead in the northwest. About two-thirds of the people live in these towns. Reigate is very old, but Horley and Redhill grew because of the railways in the Victorian era. Banstead grew as London expanded. Some larger villages like Merstham are ancient. It became a quarrying centre and later had a big housing estate. Kingswood is known for its "leafy suburban surroundings." Tadworth also saw a lot of housing growth. Nearby Walton-on-the-Hill is a "pleasant Victorian village" with a church and a spiritual centre for the Kosmon movement.

Eight very old parish churches are still in the area. Reigate's St Mary's Church is one of the largest in Surrey. It has grown over many centuries since the 1100s. All Saints Church in Banstead might be even older, but most of it is from the 1200s. Walton-on-the-Hill's church was started in the early 1200s. Horley's St Bartholomew's Church has been there since the 1100s. Chipstead's church is from the 1100s and 1200s. Merstham's old church is from the 1100s. Gatton, a tiny village, had a church in 1086. Many of these old churches were changed a lot in Victorian times. St Peter's at Woodmansterne, also mentioned in 1086, was completely rebuilt in 1876.

The borough's Victorian and Edwardian growth was served by churches such as Holy Trinity at Redhill (1906; porch added 1967).

During the 1800s and 1900s, many new Anglican churches were built as towns grew. In Reigate, St Mark (1860) and St Luke (1871) were added. St Philip (1863) was built as a smaller church for St Mark's. Redhill grew quickly because of the railway. So, St John the Evangelist (1843), St Matthew (1866), and Holy Trinity (1906) were built there. A church in Burgh Heath disappeared by the late 1800s. A new St Mary's was built in its place in 1908–09. In Kingswood, St Andrew's was built in 1848–52. At Lower Kingswood, the Church of the Wisdom of God opened in 1891. This church is special because it's built in a Byzantine style and has marble and old pieces from places like Ephesus and Constantinople.

Smaller Anglican churches were built in Tadworth (1912) and Nork (1930). Churches also appeared in Sidlow (1861) and South Merstham (1898). The South Merstham church was bombed in World War II and rebuilt in 1951. The Church of the Epiphany (1955) and St Peter's Church (1955) were built for new housing estates. However, both of these closed within 60 years. Horley also saw new churches, St Francis (1958) and St Wilfrid (1970). A church was finished in Salfords in 1967. On Reigate Heath, there are two unusual Anglican churches. One is a tin tabernacle from 1907. The other is an 18th-century windmill that became the Chapel of St Cross in 1880. English Heritage says this is "probably the only windmill in England in use as a church."

Plymouth Brethren are strongly represented in the area. This meeting room at The Grove in Horley existed by 1963.

For a long time, Redhill was the only place for Roman Catholics to worship. Their first chapel was built in 1860. It was replaced by St Joseph's Church in 1898. This church was later replaced by a new one in the same spot in 1984. Reigate's Catholic church opened in 1938. The 1960s saw the fastest growth for Catholics here. Merstham's church was built in 1958–59. In Tadworth, a temporary church was replaced by St John the Evangelist's Church in 1966. Horley's Church of the English Martyrs also got a new building in 1962.

Redhill was also a main centre for Baptist worship. A town-centre chapel (1868) was replaced by a new building in 1961. The Redhill church helped start other Baptist churches in Merstham (1897), Earlswood (1909), and Reigate (1995). Strict Baptists have chapels in Redhill and near the Reigate border.

Many Methodist chapels existed in the area by the early 1900s. Today, Methodists still meet in Banstead, Horley, Redhill, and Reigate. Only the Reigate church still uses its original chapel from 1884. New churches were built in Banstead (1971), Horley (1960), and Redhill (1992). Some old chapels have closed. Earlswood's former Wesleyan chapel was bought by a Muslim group and became the Jamia Masjid Al Mustafa.

United Reformed Church congregations are in Banstead, Redhill, and Reigate. In Reigate, their old Victorian chapel was replaced by a 1970s building. Various Brethren groups are also strong here. Some churches, now called Evangelical, used to be Open Brethren, like Sandcross Church. Others, like Lee Street Church, Woodlands Chapel, and Shrewsbury Chapel, still are. The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church has a main meeting hall in Horley, registered in 1992. They also have two other meeting rooms in Earlswood.
