Dissenters have a long history in the village, going back to the seventeenth century. Official certificates were granted for formal meetings in various places (including houses and farms) as the Baptist movement gathered momentum around 1800. Here in Tytherington, a chapel was built on Stowell Hill Road but proved insufficient from 1842. A new church was built here on Itchington Road in 1884.
