The Bridge Church, The United Reformed Church in Otley..

What is now Otley Bridge Church traces its roots back to the year 1821 when a group of people first met for worship in the Assembly Rooms in Bondgate, Otley - the upstairs of what later became the Bowling Green Inn.


These first members called themselves the Society of Independents, part of the Independent or Congregational tradition of Christianity which arose during the reign of Elizabeth I.

These early members were a mix of local Otley people and Scottish drapers who had settled in the town. In 1825 they moved their meetings to a room behind the Black Bull, sometimes known as the Pump Chapel.

During the 20th Century The Church continued its witness in the town. It has had different ministries and faced different issues. In 1972 the majority of Congregational Churches in England & Wales united with the Presbyterian Church in England to form the United Reformed Church.

The Otley church joined this union and styled itself 'The Bridge Church'. In 1993 the hall was severely damaged by fire. This was rebuilt within the old shell and offers new facilities within an old setting. The buildings are Grade II listed and well maintained by the present congregation.
