More about this scene
The Baptist Church was built 1878-9. The memorial stone was set up on 3 June 1879; tea was served in the body of the chapel, while a choir of 200 children sang from the gallery. The building opened for worship on 15 October 1879. The War Memorial stands outside the Baptist Church. On the other side of the road is the lamp-post which was first in the Market Square, with its black-painted cast iron base. On the left, behind the tiled building, is all that remained of one of the many malting kilns - there were over 30 in the town in the 19th century.
