Now Westbourne Grove Baptist Chapel, was erected 1823 by several humble
Christian men, who were soon joined by Mr. Baxter, editor of the Polyglot
Bible. The names of Mr. Farmer, Mr. Worger and Mr. Baxter ought to be
remembered by the Church.
The first pastor was Rev. W. Southwood 1826–1830
The second Rev. John Broad 1831–1841
The third Rev. John Berg 1841–1843
The fourth Rev. Frances Wills 1843–1847
The fifth Rev. W. G. Lewis 1847–1881
Under Mr. Lewis the church increased so much that it was felt necessary
to take ground to build a larger chapel.
