Summary

Originally a branch of the Rothwell, Northants., Independent Church, the Kimbolton church became independent peaceably in 1692. It remained Independent during the 18th century but later became Baptist. My transcript of the first Kimbolton Church Book from 1692-1764, with a summary of later entries to 1823, is with the Church Book itself in the County Record Office at Huntingdon (with a copy in the County Record Office, Bedford). Only early entries of Bedfordshire interest are given here.

The fourth day of the fourth month, being the Lord’s Day a letter was read which came from some freinds in and about Bedford, to request messengers from this Church of Christ to see their embodying together on the 23d day of the 4th month.
