Hidden from the road behind Lace Cottage in Stocks Road, Aldbury. From the road only part of a tile hung wall can be seen, a public footpath at the rear of Stocks Road enables a view of an end wall only. It was built around 1827 or 1836 depending on the source used.

There was a Baptist chapel from 1857 which was enlarged in 1874. Like so many village chapels it closed, in 2006-2007, and is now housing. The foundation stones are largely covered by plants.

There are three main buildings here. The current church opened in 1964, the older church dating from 1868, designed by W. Allen Dixon, and at right angles to the rear of the old church another building (Sunday school?) of 1888. All are connected by various ancillary rooms, the older buildings now being used as halls The modern church has a conservatory type frontage added to provide a refreshment/circulation area.
