More about this scene
This chapter finishes with two views of non- conformist churches as a counterpoint to the parish church. The first is down Market Street. The Baptist church was built early in the19th century; it was attached to a farmhouse, the tile-hung building to the right. Soon after this view was taken, the church was virtually rebuilt in 1905, reopening in 1910 after 'extensive repairs and alterations'. The tile- hung wing to the right survived unchanged, but the church was clad in brick with stone dressings to the windows. The trees have gone, and the field to the right is now occupied by 1970s houses, Southerden Close.
