The Congregationalists erected a church here in 1874, at a cost of
£1,400. It was opened in January 1875, and has an average
congregation—Morning, 50; Evening 100. Sunday School 80 on the books.
Mothers service 20 attend. Two weekly services; average attendance 30.
Amount raised for all purposes in connection with the Church £130.
Besides these well recognised institutions in connection with various
religious bodies there are other useful institutions, some of a
religious, and others of an educational but unsectarian character, such
as Union Prayer Meetings at Ironbridge, the Severn side School, various
Literary Societies and Reading Rooms, in connection with which large sums
are annually raised; and by means of which at Madeley, and Coalbrookdale
more particularly, a large amount of information is disseminated.
