Britain's What's On Event Guide
Abingdon Baptist Church and 35 Ock Street
Heritage Open Day: A rare chance to visit these two Grade II listed buildings. The Church dates from the mid-19th century, but the adjacent house, used as the manse until the 1960s, is considerably older. The Abingdon Baptist community dates from 1650, but it was not until 1700 that a dedicated chapel or meeting house could legally be built. It was a little further to the east than the present building, and was replaced by the current Church in 1841. It had a capacity of eight hundred with provision for two hundred more in the vestry and was built in a classical style, in contrast to the Victorian Gothic that was customary at the time for Anglican churches. The builder was a local Baptist, John Chesterman.
