Date:1964
Description:The entrance to the Congregational Church also known as Zion Chapel on Martin Street. This building's origins are thought to date from 1811 according to a 1964 local-newspaper article. It stated that it was on the site of a row of old cottages where services were previously held from 1786, also according to a plaque above one of the doorways. The church was enlarged and renovated in 1896 – 1897 and demolished in 1965. The site would be used for extensions to the County Council buildings for the County Laboratory. A replacement church was opened in 1966 at the corner of Eastgate Street and Cope Street but this has since been re-purposed. The Portico added in 1897 had previously been the colonnaded porch entrance for Stafford General Infirmary in Foregate Street. The church's plain front was replaced with a more elaborate one in keeping with this Portico.
