Old Meeting United Reformed Church
Old Meeting United Reformed Church
This plain but much loved building was built in 1726 but its story goes back to 1687, the year after Nicholas Chamberlaine became Squire of Bedworth. The five miles between Coventry and Bedworth is an important part of Bedworth’s history because of the passing of the Five Mile Act in 1665. This forbade any assembly of non conformist church goers for worship and preaching within five miles of a corporate town such as Coventry. The centre of Bedworth is exactly five miles from Coventry, the old five mile post still standing at the entrance to the almshouses.
