The Scotch Baptist Chapel

This is in Park Street, and is supposed to have been the third dissenting place of worship in the town. It was erected in 1724, for the use of a Baptist congregation which existed as early as the 17th century. The Rev. Wm. Green is the pastor

The General Baptist Chapel, Milton Street

This is a large, neat, brick building, erected in 1851 by a body that separated from the chapel in Plumtre Place. The Rev. Geo. Alex. Syme is the minister.

The General Baptist Chapel, Plumtre Place

This is a large, square. brick fabric, adjoining one of St Mary's burial grounds. It was erected in 1799. Near it a large Sunday School was built in 1811. The Rev. Hugh Hunter is the minister.

The Particular Baptist Chapel, George Street

This is a neat, brick edifice, erected in 1815, by the congregation which previously occupied the Park Street chapel. It cost about £6,000, including the purchase of the site, and the erection of the large Sabbath School, which adjoins it. The interior is neatly pewed, and will seat 1,000 people. The burial ground is at a considerable distance, being on the west side of Mount Street. The Rev. James Edwards is the pastor.

The Particular Baptist Chapel, Derby Road

This was erected in 1851, and is a handsome, brick building, but displays a want of symmetry, the breadth not corresponding with the length, but the design is so admirable that it presents a most imposing appearance. The Rev. J.A. Baynes B.A. is the minister.

The Armenian Baptists

These have a large chapel in Broad Street, erected in 1818 by a number of members who, with their pastor, the late Rev. Robert Smith, separated from the congregation in Plumtre Street. The present minister is the Rev. W.R. Stevenson.

The Separatists

These people are a community of Baptists, who occupy Paradise Place Chapel in Barkergate.
