Tenbury Baptist Chapel

 

Baptist: Cross Street

In 1819 Goff’s Free School (funded by a wealthy coal merchant) opened in Cross street.   It was used on Sundays by the Baptist congregation.  
The present building was erected in 1854-5, it was designed by G.B. Long and cost £1,150 to build.  It is now closed for worship. The interior of the chapel is now a shell, and used for commercial purposes.
