"Five of the local inhabitants ... formed the nucleus of the Christadelphian Meeting. Their first breaking of the bread meeting was held at a private house, Belle Vue. However, by 1931 they had acquired the old Congregational Chapel built in 1825 ... In 1980 during re-roofing, the original thatch roof was discovered ... In 2004 the Chapel was converted to a residential dwelling" http://www.timsbury.org.uk/history-christadelphian-chapel/ . This is on Maggs Hill.

Originally founded in 1825 as the Congregational Church, it was occupied for about a century before the whole crowd relocated to the new building in North Road. The village also had a small but hardy Baptist movement springing up from the 1920s. After this church became vacant, they took over and established themselves, offering Sunday charabanc rides amongst other things. In the 1980s, the roof was repaired and it was discovered that there was thatching underneath the tiles. However, as with so many small throngs, the church closed in 2004 and is now a private residence.

Timsbury is mentioned in the Domesday Book. From about 1800 it was a mining town in the North Somerset coalfield, this has now ceased. St. Mary's Church is at the far end of High Street.
