Built in 1903 to replace the nearby 1835 Wesleyan Chapel.
It became the United Reformed Church in 1972.

The arrow of a bench mark has been carved near the top of the stone.
This is a Pivot Bench Mark, numbered PV0155.

This bench mark was used during the First primary levelling, England & Wales, and was levelled with a height of 205.1850 feet [62.5404 metres] above mean sea level (Liverpool datum).
It was included on the Manchester to Gloucester (Branch Levelling [from Powick] to Great Malvern) levelling line.
The surveyor's description was
"Mark on top of the 7th milestone from Worcester ; level with road."

Dist:0.2km<br/>On the main A449 Ross to Worcester Road between Hampden Road and Cromwell Road.
Viewed looking up towards Link Top and Great Malvern.
The block consists of buildings of varying architectures, but with a common roof decoration
(presumably added later by the single owner of the whole block).
The corner bears two carved stones: the top one bearing the date "1896" and the other bearing two initials "E" and "D" overlaid.
