The 1972 United Reformed Church Act made provision for continuing Congregational churches to receive a fair share of the accumulated assets of Congregational Church in England and Wales and of the thirty-two County Union incorporated Bodies. After considerable discussion between representatives of the United Reformed Church and the continuing Congregational churches, general agreement was reached on what was a fair allocation of the assets whereupon the Charity Commission prepared a Scheme for operating and administering the shared assets of Congregational Church in England and Wales. This Scheme was sealed on the 4th January 1977. An Unaffiliated Congregational church is the term used by the Charity Commission to define a continuing Congregational church, which has not joined either the Congregational Federation or an Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational churches.
By 1994 the accumulated assets of the last of the thirty-two former County Unions were apportioned thus bringing to an end a process that lasted for over twenty years. It also included the assets of other funds which were formerly administered by the Congregational Church in England and Wales and the United Reformed Church. It can be said that the interests of all the continuing Congregational churches have been well provided for as a result of this process: but it is a particular cause for gratitude that those of the Unaffiliated Congregational Churches have been catered for. Separate of the three Congregational groupings they had no formal structure to enable them to be actively involved in the negotiations in their own right.
The defination of an Unaffiliated Congregational Church is outlined in the 1977 as:Congregational Churches which were in membership with the former Congregational Church in England and Wales or were members of the Congregational Union of England and Wales in the year 1966 and which on the 31st December 1975 were not member churches of the Congregational Federation or of an Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches andCongregational Churches in England and Wales formed after 5th October 1972 which are not members of the Congregational Federation or of an Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches.
