The Revd William Brock from Norwich was the first preacher at Bloomsbury Chapel, as it was known then. On 25 July 1849, the church was formally constituted with 62 founder members with this number growing to 900 members by the mid-1860’s. The church became Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church in 1905 and in 1914 was extended upwards providing a new floor providing more space for the increasing congregation and their missionary work. #bloomsbury #shaftesburyavenue #london #londoninfocus #thisislondon #igerslondon #seemycity #ig_london #london_enthusiast #toplondonphoto #londonlife #londonbylondoners #londonwanderings #londoncity #ilovelondon #visitlondon #archidaily #architect #design #architecturephotographs #shutup_london #igers_london #thelondonlifeinc #littlelibraryoflondon #joinourlibrary All photos are original and copyright of #littlelibraryoflondon by littlelibraryoflondon
