Church History information for Trafford St Evangelical Baptist, Farnworth and places above it in the hierarchy

Trafford St Evangelical Baptist, Farnworth

The building purchased in 1997 from the local Brethren Assembly. At this time the old Baptist Church on Market Street was closed because of structural problems and the congregation relocated into the Trafford Street Building.

The building was originally built as a Welsh Presbyterian Chapel and was the worshipping place for many Welsh families who had moved into the area.

When renovating the building part of a mural was found with a verse in Welsh painted onto one of the walls inside.

Church of England (C of E):
- The Church of England was a key secular (as well as religious) institution until the Victorian period. As part of local government, it was responsible for poor relief, running local charities, and even local roads and law enforcement. As a result, the 'parish chest' contains a lot more than just the registers of christenings, marriages and burials. Their registers also often contain records of adherents to other (non-C of E ) religions.
- A Church Near You - a church search facility that in many cases gives maps with current Church of England parish boundaries.
- Church of England Record Centre - "collections held at Lambeth Palace Library".
- The Churches Conservation Trust (formerly the Redundant Churches Fund) protects historic churches that have been made redundant but not sold off by the C of E.
- Clergy of the Church of England - "a relational database documenting the careers of all Church of England clergymen between 1540 and 1835".
- The Incorporated Church Building Society's archive includes over 15,000 files relating to applications by parishes for grants from the Society 1818 to 1982. Their online database lists the archive contents and provides links to online copies of plans and drawings of many of the C of E churches. The society is now part of the National Churches Trust.

In 1932, the Primitive, Wesleyan and the United Methodists joined together to form the Methodist Church in Britain. Their website provides a brief history of Methodism and advice on research.
