Summary

No longer extant, the General Baptist Church, in existence by 1690, occupied rented accommodation until the erection of the present building in 1786. From 1818 it shared a pastor with the Presbyterian church, both societies having adopted Unitarian doctrines. In later years it became a workshop, but was derelict by 1969, and appears to have been demolished and rebuilt as a hall.
