In the early part of the 19th century Woodville Baptists attended the Westborough Church. In 1835 a new building was being constructed in Westborough, the old building was dismantled and sledded across the ice of Lake Whitehall to Woodville, where it was reconstructed. Until 1842 the Woodville Baptist congregation remained a branch of the Westborough church and voted to become independent, establishing the Woodville Baptist Church.
