Timsbury was within the scope of the preacher John Wesley and he came here on more than one occasion to address the miners. Thanks to the begging and bartering efforts of local men John Evans and John Barnes, land and materials were purchased and a chapel built here in 1805, thus becoming the first in the village. It later became known for prominence in music and Sunday schooling. It is a single storey building, but the tall interior allows for a gallery.

Adjoins the Tabor Church; the path bollards might not be terribly effective in preventing wheeled traffic.

The Tabor church opened for worship in 1865; interestingly enough, the pews and stained glass windows were created locally. Thomas Smith (windows) and Valentine Keeling (pews and screens) both had businesses in The Square. In 1930 a formal union with the Methodist Union Circuit was turned down and so the church remains a Free Church to this day. A benchmark can be found on the roadside face - see Image

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.

"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.
