Boulevard United Reformed Church was built as Hyson Green Congregational Church on Gregory Boulevard in Hyson Green, Nottingham in 1900.[1]
History
[edit]The congregation was formed in 1824 by Castle Gate Congregational Centre. The first church was opened on 8 August 1824. The current building replaced it when the Boulevard Congregational church merged with the Noel-Street Congregational Church.
The building was erected to designs by the architect Harry Gill in 1900. It was built in Bulwell stone with Derbyshire stone dressings, and had a seating capacity of 600.
It later merged with the United Reformed Church.
Organ
[edit]The organ was obtained second hand from Castle Gate Congregational Centre in 1909. It dated from 1865 and was by Forster and Andrews. A specification can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[2] This organ was later removed and exported to the Netherlands.
