Places of Worship
The Parish Church of St. Martin is the second largest in the county and predominantly dates from the fifteenth century although there are traces of earlier work, some as old as the Norman period. The tower is more recent, having been erected to replace the earlier one demolished in 1902.
The town has also been enriched by other denominations. Methodism has flourished since the visit of John Wesley in 1757 and the present Methodist Chapel has a magnificent plaster ceiling incorporating the town's coat of arms. Quakerism was established by George Fox himself, the Friends Meeting House subsequently being situated in Friends Place off Pound Street until it burned down in 1899. A Presbyterian church was built in 1701 and the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady and St. Neot dates from 1863. The Salvation army have had a Citadel in the town since 1887, and more recently the Jehovah's Witnesses have built a Kingdom Hall in the south of the town.
