Description: | The small Slough Baptist community had met in various places during the 1880s and 1890s. In 1897 Alderman Walter Reavell secured the present site in Windsor Road which he gave to the Baptists who built an iron church. This was subsequently replaced by the church in the photo, built in 1904 and opened in 1905. The builder was Mr Flint of High Wycombe who also built St. Pauls church in Slough. The pastor at the time was Revd Theo Cousens. The organ was bought in 1906, helped with a generous donation from the famous philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie.This photo shows the organ pipes situated in the alcove at the west end of the sanctuary.
This photograph is part of a large collection.
