A Look Back: The Church's History
How the Church Started
The story of Daybrook Baptist Church began a long time ago, in 1844. That's when a group of people who were Baptists decided to form a community in Arnold, Nottingham. They wanted a place to worship and share their beliefs.
Building the First Church
After some years, in 1859, the first church building was constructed for this Baptist community. The first stone for the building was placed on March 8, 1859. Another church, Broad Street Baptist Church, helped them with money to build it.
A New Building for a New Era
However, by 1911, the first church building was not safe anymore. It had to be taken down. So, a new and stronger church was built in its place. This new building was designed by a talented architect named William Herbert Higginbottom. It was finished and opened its doors in November 1912. This is the same church building you can see today!
