Having had continuous existence for more than ten generations; The congregation was formed in 1692 by a group of Scottish Dissenters who had fled their homeland to escape James II's severe persecution for their beliefs. It has occupied its existing building since 1751, and the structure has undergone little fundamental change. The church once served as a hospital during an engagement in the War for Independence—the Battle of Monmouth—which raged around it on June 28, 1778.〔http://www.oldtennentchurch.org/Church_Location/churchhistory.html〕
