Old Baptist Chapel Court, Off Church Street, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, GL20 5RZ
For Admission Prices Please See the Description Below
The Old Baptist Chapel in Tewkesbury has a rich history, beginning as a fifteenth-century home for a wealthy family. By the mid-seventeenth century, it became a gathering place for Baptists, making it possibly the oldest surviving Baptist site in England. In the 1700s, it was transformed into a visible chapel. In 1805, once again converted into a smaller chapel and two cottages.
Restored in the 1970s and renovated again in 2015-2016, the chapel now offers a welcoming space with modern amenities while preserving its historic charm. Visitors can enjoy an introductory talk followed by free-roam access to explore its fascinating history, enhanced by a touchscreen and replica items. Monthly events bring the chapel’s past to life.
