Thornbury is holding a musical celebration to mark 300 years of non-conformist worship in the town.

Hymns from the 18th century as well as more recent times will be sung at Thornbury United Reformed Church (URC), Chapel Street.

There will also be a chance to learn about the development of different styles of worship over this period.

Revd Ray Adams, former moderator of URC South West Synod, will lead the service with Dr Susan Ryrie on the organ.

The singing will begin at 3pm on Sunday, November 25 and will be followed by tea and cake.

In 1718 a group of Nonconformist ministers and businessmen bought a plot of land on Rock Street.

On the site they built a chapel to be used for worship by the Independent and Presbyterian dissenters.

The chapel was replaced in 1826 by the independent chapel built 50 metres to the south, subsequently known as the Congregational Church and now the United Reformed Church.

The site of the original chapel was re-established in 2012 by researchers from Thornbury Museum.
