The Independent congregation at Denton was an early foundation, it is suggested that it was founded as early as 1655, however records of vital events only go back to 1765. It is documented as licensed for meetings at a house (of one Robert Primrose) as early as 1672 with a potential date for a dedicated chapel in the early 18th century. The chapel in which most of these events took place was that rebuilt in 1821. In later years the congregation passed into the hands of the United Reform Church. The only register which survives for the period covered by this project is that deposited with The National Archives in 1837, catalogued as their piece RG4/1345, Norfolk Record Office holds a copy on Microfilm MF1147. In more recent times images of these records have become available to view on some of the major commercial platforms as well as on Familysearch and these images were used to prepare this transcript.
