This page will not be updated from October 2009 onwards. However it will remain live until further notice as a historical record.

The church moved in October 2009 to Framlingham: go to the Framlingham Baptist Community Church website at www.framlinghambaptist.co.uk

The church was originally part of the Church or Society of Protestant Dissenters called “Particular Baptists”, the antecedents of the Baptist churches, and believed to be founded by members of Horham Baptist Church. A wooden chapel in The Street, Earl Soham was the original home from 1824, then in 1859 the present brick chapel was started, in a Victorian style common to other rural chapels. A floor was built halfway up in about 1968 because of the flooding which used to be prevalent. In the late 1960s the younger generation took the lead. Most of those have had children and grown older, so now we are quite a mixture.

2009 was the 150th Anniversary of the present building, which was opened on 6 July 1859. There was an Anniversary Weekend in September 2009, which also marked the end of its use as a chapel.
