1887.
The hall was opened as a school in 1888.
The church was officially formed in
1889.
The opening of the chapel was on Good Friday, 1892.
The church grew, and they were pioneering in
appointing women deacons in1919.
In
1926, there was a split in the church when 25 members left.
(They became Honor Oak
Christian Fellowship.)

Baptist Church reformed with 54 members in
1927
and joined the

In 1998 the Church building was declared a ‘Grade 2’ listed building.
In 2004, planing permission was granted to
convert the hall and part of the church building into flats and to refurbish the otherpart. The pipe organ was relocated to
a church in France.
