Cambray Baptist Church, Cheltenham
Cambray Place, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL50 1JS
Cambray Baptist is a listed mid 19th Century Baptist Chapel in the heart of Cheltenham. The main chapel has an elevated pulpit and a large gallery with original pews. The building was extended at the end of the 19th Century with the addition of a large hall, which was one of the first public buildings in Cheltenham to have electricity and central heating. Many visitors have often likened the building to the tardis as the extensions are hidden behind the surrounding buildings.
Visitors are welcome to look around or we will be happy to provide tours at any time. We will also have displays documenting some of the history of the building and the church itself.
This year we will also be offering a short talk each day (1230 on Friday 11th, 2pm on Saturday 12th, no need to book) on:
Why Cambray? The story of the Baptists who settled in Cambray Place. Where they came from, how they decided on Cambray and how they developed the building that is still in use today.
