Description: | The Baptist Church started later than other Dissenters in Slough. In 1897 a site in Windsor Road was secured by Alderman A. P. Reavell of Windsor who gave it to the Baptist Community. The first church built on the site was an 'Iron Church'. In 1905 the Iron Church was replaced by the present building. The architect was Resta. W. Moore and the builder was a Mr. Flint of High Wycombe. An adjoining Memorial Hall was added in 1933.
The church is built in the Gothic style with a large perpendicular east window and battlemented staircase towers.The caption on the photograph states that the church cost £4600. The shops in the foreground and the house immediately adjoining the church are still in existence. The Granada Cinema was demolished in 1988 and replaced by offices. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Slough Library | Subjects: | Churches ; Baptists ; Shops ; Houses ; Bond ; Windsor Road Baptist Church | Temporal: | start=1960-01-01; end=1988-01-01; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Reg Harrison | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
