Listed Bulding
Non conformist chapel. Founded late C17-early C18 rebuilt 1840, extended 1858 and restored 1881. (Historic England)
The village’s first Baptist church was formed in 1670. Its first recorded minister was John Bunyan, the author of The Pilgrim’s Progress. In the beginning the church, which was originally known as Gamlingay Old Meeting, was a daughter congregation of Bunyan Meeting at Bedford, becoming independent in 1710. The meeting house was also built in 1710. It was rebuilt in 1840 and restored in 1881. The church was renamed Gamlingay Baptist Church in the 1990s. (Wikipedia)
