Geocache Description:


This Place of Worship was founded before 1881, but we understand it was closed after 1983, and the premises are now in secular use.

It is built of irregularly shaped stone, giving it the appearance of flint, with what appears to be light coloured brickwork, or cotswold stone surrounds to the windows, doorway, and the building's corners. There is a central entrance, with a stone canopy sheltering the doorway, and there are two long round-arched windows on either side.

There are two plaques above the door, an oblong, immediately above the doorway, and a larger one, above the tops of the windows, which is lozenge-shaped. The latter reads "Baptist Chapel / 1909"; the other is possibly commemorative of the building's consecration.

A Chapel at this location is shown on Old Maps earlier than this, for instance OS 1881 1:2,500 - "Baptist Chapel (Particular)" - so either the date of 1909 must indicate a rebuilding, or I have misread it. It is listed in Places recorded by the Registrar General under the provisions of the Places of Worship Registration Act 1855 (2010) as "North Road Baptist Chapel", but presumably it was closed long before the date of the list's compilation.
