Comments

The Stanmore Baptist Church was opened and dedicated, although not fully completed, on 12/12/1901. The church called the Rev C J Tinsley, from Spurgeon's College, London to be their first minister. Soon after opening, the growth of the congregation required the the church to be enlarged, which additions were opened and dedicated on 8/7/1903. The Reformers Bookshop also uses the building. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 4/2/2021.
