A Particular church

The village of Atworth housed a small but hardy (Particular) Baptist movement for a few centuries. Eventually, they were permitted and able to build their own church here at the junction with the Purlpit road. Although the date is set as 1860, the doors were practically opened in 1864. The congregation held services until the late 1970s; it was turned over as a private residence in 1979. Aside from the parish noticeboard, there is an old letterbox at the far end of the wall.
