Towcester Baptist Church - Births, Deaths & Members [Download .PDF File]

The Baptist Church at Towcester has its origins in the year 1784 when seventeen members attending the Baptist chapel at Weston by Weedon requested leave to form their own church at Towcester.  The first Pastor of the new church, ordained in 1786, was Thomas Skinner.  Skinner was replaced by William Amphlett in 1793 and early in the nineteenth century John Barker was appointed Pastor.  Barker, from Walgrave in Northamptonshire, remained in office until his death in 1849 seeing the membership increase from thirty to over a hundred during his ministry.  This publication contains a transcription of the register surrendered to the Registrar General in 1837, recording births from 1759 to 1836, and the membership and burial detail contained in the Church Books held at Northamptonshire Record Office, covering the period 1784 to 1912.
