Long Clawson Baptist Church
The Baptists meet regularly for preaching services under the guidance of Pastor Eric Moxham. Long Clawson Baptist Church was part of the New Connexion General Baptist which was formed in 1770. At that time the church suffered bitter persecution and opposition to the preaching, with meetings broken up and hearers assulted. So great was the opposition that the work was discontinued, until some years later when the Hose Baptists (founded in 1791) wished to form a work in Long Clawson. Success came in 1840 when local people attended services and asked for baptism. In 1927 the chapel was renovated and a school room was added. In the 1950's a Baptistry (A large pool set into the chapel floor) was built for 'Believers' baptism. Today the Baptists still meet regularly for preaching services and with their Pastor Eric Moxham, they continue to preserve the heritage left by the Saints of old
