Pictorial record of Baptist churches and chapels hits three figures 


There are now 100 images of Baptist churches and chapels on a special page of the Baptist Historical Society website - and the Society would like this to grow further, it explains

When the Baptist Historical Society website was relaunched in autumn 2023, it had a new feature: a pictorial record of Baptist churches and chapels found in England and Wales.

It has at the end of April 2025 reached 100 different buildings.

There is a great variety in style of building, from gothic to modern, from grandiose to simple. Baptist places of worship have had a variety of names — Meeting Houses, Chapels, Tabernacles to Churches. 

The buildings included so far reach back to the 1700s right up to the present.

While the church is always the people first, our buildings are not unimportant. They are witness to the presence of a worshipping and missionary people in the community. 

Those buildings that are older communicate a sense of longevity — a permanent presence. The newer buildings that Christianity is not dead, but very much alive. 

Our buildings are a place for people to gather and meet and many of our buildings will host a variety of groups and activities alongside Sunday worship.

Feel free to see if your church building is part of the record, and if not send a picture to Stephen Copson secretary@baptisthistory.org.uk to be added.

(Pictures should be high res, preferably landscape, and have no people in them.) 

We would love to get to 200.
