Memorial Plaque inside Grimsby Baptist Church
In a corridor just outside the actual church is the war memorial that was originally placed in the old church in memory of the members of the congregation who had fallen in the Great War.
The memorial was unveiled during the Sunday evening service on the 19th September, 1920 by Mr. W. Wilson, senior deacon of the church. The tablet is in white marble bearing the names of fourteen men with a laurel wreath and inscription above.

Grimsby Baptist Church
This church was opened in 1959, whilst the hall next door in 1957, and was used for worship until the church had been completed. However, these were new premises, built to replace the old church on the corner of Burgess Street and Victoria Street, in the old centre of Grimsby. This was built at a time when the population of the town of Grimsby was expanding around the area of the new dock which had been built in the 1850’s. These people needed a spiritual life, one provided by the Baptists, as well as a number of new non-conformist chapels.

Catholic Church of St.Pius X
St Pius X Church was built by Reynolds & Scott in the 1950's and refurbished by Peter Langtry-Langton of Bradford in 1993. Four stained glass windows were installed later, symbolising earth, fire, air and water. A very special feature is the wood carving by Father Jim Davis in the Baptistery. It was made using an ancient Maori technique, in which the names of everyone who has been baptised both in the old St Peter's and St Pius X Church has been inscribed, as well as the names of all priests who have served there. The baptistery walls also tell the story of the church's connection with the sea and the fishing industry.
