Detail InformationEdit

Morden Baptist Church is a Baptist church in the London Borough of Merton. The church building is on Crown Lane part of the Morden one-way system.In 1880s Morden was a place of cornfields and cattle, a country district with three little far sundered groups of houses. Each group of houses had a public house at its centre. Those public houses can still be found – “The Plough”,”The George” and “The Crown”. On a Sunday evening in 1885 a little company of “Lovers of Jesus” gathered in one of the shops in what is now London Road, to hold a simple evangelistic service. They met, and sang, and prayed and read the Scriptures. Near Morden one of the iron building firms had a few sample buildings on show. When they abandoned the pitch, they offered an iron chapel for Sale and Queens Road Church Wimbledon, London offered to buy it for Morden”.
In 1915 the membership was only 16. However the extension of the Northern Line and development of Merton Park, Morden and St. Helier Estate resulted in the numbers of church members rising to 84. 1929 saw the fellowship moving across the road from the ‘Tin Chapel’ to the “new” School Hall. This building still remains, and is now used for sports, playgroup, luncheon club and other activities. From small beginnings above a shop in 1885, who could have foreseen that exactly 50 years later, a new church would be needed (in addition to the School Hall) to accommodate the rapidly growing fellowship. So on the 9th March 1935, the new church was formally opened.
