‘There my
friends and kindred dwell’
The Strict
Baptist Chapels of Suffolk and Norfolk
by
Tim GrassEast
Anglia has been a heartland of the Strict Baptists (now often known as
Grace Baptists). Since the foundation of the Suffolk and Norfolk
Association in 1829, almost 100 such churches have existed in Suffolk
or Norfolk at one point or another, and more than that number of branch
chapels or mission stations. This book introduces their history, which
is marked by vigorous outreach and deep local roots. An introduction
outlines the strands of the denomination’s development in the two
counties, pages are devoted to each church’s story (almost all are
illustrated), and an appendix lists all known congregations and
missions.
Tim Grass is the son of a Suffolk Strict Baptist pastor, and has
himself preached in a number of the chapels. He is an associate tutor
in church history at Spurgeon’s College, London, and a Fellow of the
Royal Historical Society.
