Blagdon Baptist church
The Baptist movement often found a welcome in villages and Blagdon was no exception. Originally, the members would meet in the Bell public house in Bell Square in the 1850s; requests were made to The Bristol Baptist Itinerant Society to send preachers to the village as the gathering grew. By the 1870s, funds had been secured to found this chapel. It opened in 1875 and was called ‘the Jubilee’ chapel to commemorate 50 years of the founding of The Bristol Baptist Itinerant Society.
