Baptist Church on Old Broughton Road. From a study of old maps, this appears to have been the Sunday school of the preceding chapel, and at some point the buildings changed roles. An older General Baptist Chapel, the site of which is now occupied by a filling station, stood at the junction of Sandridge Road and Snarlton Lane. All © Janet Gimber (2018). Link. The grade II listing is for the second church listed here. It gives a date of 1776.
