Southover General Baptist Chapel, Baptist chapel in Southover, England
The Southover General Baptist Chapel features knapped flint walls with red brick corners and a hipped tiled roof measuring 27 feet by 17 feet.
The foundation stone of Southover General Baptist Chapel, laid on May 14, 1741, marked the establishment of the first Baptist congregation in this area.
The chapel represents the Protestant Nonconformist movement in Sussex, where General Baptist congregations transformed into Unitarian communities by 1825.
The building underwent conversion into a private residence in 1972, with modifications including concrete covering of the burial ground and interior renovations.
Original engraved bricks from 1741 and nineteenth-century fireplaces remain inside the structure, preserving elements of its religious heritage.
