History

The roots of our church lie in seventeenth century Hull - dangerous times for Dissenters. There were many occassions when worshippers had to meet secretly in private houses.

The congregation was established in 1672. The first building (1691) was in Bowl Alley Lane. The move to Park Street came in 1881 and the present building dates from 1977.

Leonard Chamberlainwas one of the first trustees. His trust still supports the church and the almshouses in Hull and Selby.

A notable former member of our church was Dr. Alderson, the senior physician of Hull Infirmary in the nineteenth century.
