There has been a Baptist chapel on this site in Breachwood Green since 1831. The present chapel dates to 1904 and was built by George Baines & Sons, London and Mallet & Wood of Luton.
The building is constructed of banded courses of red and cream brick with cream terracotta traceried windows. The West front consists of a seven light window atop double doors. To either side of the window are slender tapering buttresses topped by wrought iron finials. There are numerous commemorative stones and bricks in the fabric of the building.
