Helmdon Baptist Chapel

The Helmdon Baptist chapel opened for public worship on 8th June 1841 with the schoolroom being added much later in 1953. Because it was deemed unsafe as a building, it closed as a place of worship in January 2004.

It has always been part of a group. It was originally one of three village chapels, and then it belonged to a group of six. In January 2000 the Helmdon Baptists joined in a partnership with Towcester Baptists to form the Tove Valley Baptist Fellowship, members meeting for worship every Sunday morning.

The community, notably the Tiny tots, also used the premises. They now meet at Weston Baptist Chapel, the oldest Baptist chapel in the country.
