-
Description
From 1720 until the late C19, the Baptist Church met in two buildings on Tuthill Stairs. Firstly in an Elizabethan timber framed 3 storey house. The house was owned by the Chapman family. Oswald Chapman was a merchant and a member of the Guild of Merchant Adventurers. He was Sheriff in 1545 and Mayor in 1558. His son, Henry, inherited the mansion in 1566. The house was very pleasantly situated overlooking the river and amongst gardens and orchards.....Then in 1797/8 a new Baptist chapel was built at the top of the Stairs in the orchard of the mansion, which cost £1300. The foundation stone was laid on 17 July 1797..... -
