Upper Stratton Baptist chapel was founded in 1861 and the Church formed in 1862. At first the building doubled as a school, as there was no school in the village at the time. In 1929 a Sunday School was built alongside the church. The church bell fell from use in 1886, and was later sent to Jamaica in response to an appeal from the Baptist Missionary Society. http://usbc.org.uk/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/swindonlocal/3925580699/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/swindonlocal/3925580705/in/photostream/
