A Look Back in Time
Harrogate Baptist Church first opened its doors in 1883. That's over 140 years ago! A talented architect named William Peachey designed this beautiful church. He made sure it would be a welcoming place for everyone.
The Church Organ
Inside the church, there's a wonderful musical instrument called a pipe organ. It was first built in 1884 by William Hill. Think of it like a giant musical machine with many pipes that make different sounds! Later, in 1898, another person named James Jepson Binns rebuilt parts of the organ. This made sure it continued to sound amazing for many years.
