Sheppard's Barton Baptist Church; two images taken on different occasions. It is remarkable how different the building looks when viewed from street and first floor level, where the roof (which would have been obvious on the architect's 'front elevation' drawing), can be seen. The original church that stood on this spot was the first Baptist church in the town and was erected in 1708, and was so similar in appearance to Rook Lane Chapel that they probably shared the same architect. Sadly that church was pulled down in 1849 and this is its replacement, designed by one J Davis (probably not Joe Davis, World Snooker Champion from 1927 to 1946 - too early for him and he was a snooker player, after all, not a church architect, but perhaps we digress).
This chapel closed at the end of the 20th Century and is part way through a major renovation / conversion into a private home.
