Particular Baptist Chapel, Ogbourne St. Andrew

HM Inspector William Warburton’s ‘Account of Schools’ in Wiltshire describes a ‘dissenting school’ in Ogbourne St. Andrew which was housed in a ‘neat, redbrick school-room forming part of Zion Chapel’. These may be the same premises described by the Charity Commissioners in their return of 1908 as representing ‘The Ogbourne St. Andrew Particular Baptist Charity’: By an indenture of December 1860, premises known as ‘Popes’ and used as a chapel, vestry, schoolroom and cottage, were conveyed to a congregation of Particular Baptists. The chapel subsequently closed in 1903.
