"
History -The congregation formed out of that based at Stoney Street Baptist Church. In 1875 they seceded from the Stoney Street Church, and by the early 1890s had enough resources to commission the architect Watson Fothergill to design a new Church for them on Woodborough Road.
The church was opened on 5 February 1895.
After a period of decline in the mid 20th century, the church eventually closed, and was converted into a centre for the Pakistani League of Friends. It is now an Islamic Social Centre."
