Derby Road Particular Baptist Church was a former Baptist Church in Nottingham from 1850[1] to 1967.

History

The Derby Road Baptist Church was founded as a separate community from the George Street Particular Baptist Church on 11 February 1847.

A site was purchased from the 4th Duke of Newcastle on Derby Road. The foundation stone was laid on 30 July 1849 by Samuel Morton Peto, MP for Norwich,[2] and the church was erected and opened on 9 July 1850 at a cost of £5,000[3] (Шаблон:Inflation).Шаблон:Inflation-fn

The church experienced a disastrous fire on 1 January 1893[4] which caused much damage and forced the congregation to relocate for nearly a full year. However the organ was replaced in 1894 and new choir stalls were installed in 1895 to accommodate a choir of 40.[5]

In 1946, many of the congregation from the George Street Particular Baptist Church transferred to Derby Road.

The church closed in 1967 and the congregation joined with Lenton General Baptists to build a new church, Thomas Helwys Baptist Church in Lenton which opened on 4 July 1968.

In 1971 College House was built on the site.

Organ

The church purchased a 3 manual organ in 1850 from Bevington. This was modified by Peter Conacher and Co in 1873.

In 1894 Peter Conacher provided a new organ to replace the previous one which had been destroyed by fire. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[6]

When the church closed, the organ was transferred to Gresham's School.
