The Old Baptist Chapel, Goodshaw
The only non conformist chapel to fall under the guardianship of English Heritage. Built in 1760, it later fell into disrepair before a fairly recent project restored the building to its former glory.
Both the chapel and grounds are locked, due to vandalism.

Baptist Chapel : Goodshaw
The front view of the Baptist Chapel at Goodshaw. The first Baptist meeting house at Goodshaw was started in 1685 using private houses. Goodshaw Baptist Chapel owes its existence to a group of people from Lumb who though attached to no particular religious sect held meeting in farmhouses and cottages around the villages of Whitewell Bottom, Lumb and Dean. They eventually came under the influence of the Rev Joseph Piccop the minister of Ebenezer Baptist, Bacup and about 1753 built a meeting house at Bullar Trees near Lumb. After seven years this house proved to small and very inconvenient, as most of the members by now came from Goodshaw. So in 1760 the first chapel was built at Goodshaw with people carrying the pews and fittings from the Lumb meeting house on their backs over the moors to Goodshaw.
