=== Non-conformist === * [[Lewes Friends Meeting House]] (finished 1784) is a Quaker meeting house next to the former All Saints' Church (now an arts centre) on Friar's Walk. * The [[Jireh Chapel]], off Malling Street, is a Grade I listed building,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.eastsussex.gov.uk/yourcouncil/agendasreportsminutes/countycouncil/reports/CC25Jul2000ReportOfScrutinyCommitteeForEnhancingTheEnvironment.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=28 April 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110527132236/http://www.eastsussex.gov.uk/yourcouncil/agendasreportsminutes/countycouncil/reports/CC25Jul2000ReportOfScrutinyCommitteeForEnhancingTheEnvironment.pdf |archive-date=27 May 2011 |url-status=dead}}</ref> being a rare survivor of its type dating from 1805. It now houses the [[Lewes Free Presbyterian Church]]. * Westgate Chapel is a 16th-century building located built on the original 13th century town wall foundations and a yard at the top of the High Street (Grade 2* listed). So called because of its position at the old West Gate of the town wall, the Chapel was in use during the 17th century and became a licensed place of worship named as Westgate Meeting on 5 November 1700 and recorded as Independent. Its liberal stance allowed it to become a [[Unitarianism|Unitarian]] led church by 1820 (when the congregation of [[Southover General Baptist Chapel]] re-joined) It is now an Independent chapel. * Eastgate Chapel is a very different building; a neo-Norman design of 1843 in dark flint, it originally had a pepper-pot dome but this was removed in favour of a traditional spire in case traffic vibrations below made it fall off. A modern extension has been added to the church. * Christ Church, a modern (1953) building, serves a united congregation of [[United Reformed Church]] and [[Methodist]] worshippers. * [[Southover General Baptist Chapel]] was built in Eastport Lane in 1741. The congregation's views moved towards Unitarianism, and in the 19th century they re-joined Westgate Chapel having earlier split from there. The building has been a house since 1972, but had various religious and secular uses before that.
