It was formerly known as Union Chapel, was opened on 23 May 1833 and cost £400 to build. In 1873, extensive alterations and improvements took place. The stained glass windows were a memorial to John Clarke, the foundling pastor, who had died in 1850. Subsequently it became the Hawkinge Free Church (Baptist). The Gothic tower holds a clock dedicated as a war memorial to two World Wars.
