St John's Baptist Chapel in Long Eaton, Derbyshire, is a building that used to be a Baptist church. It has a long history in the town.
History of the Chapel
The church community started in 1887. Some members left the Baptist Chapel in Station Street, Long Eaton. They met in the Primitive Methodist Chapel on Chapel Street. This was their meeting place until they could build their own church.
The new chapel was built on Clumber Street in Long Eaton. It was designed by the architect Ernest Reginald Ridgway. Mr. Youngman was the builder for the project. The first stone was laid on June 25, 1895. The building officially opened for worship on November 5, 1895.
The Baptist community used the chapel until 1980. After that, the Emmanuel Evangelical Free Church used the building. Today, the New Testament Church of God uses the building.
