Geocache Description:

The St James Road Baptist Church in Watford was founded in 1903 with nine inaugural members. Before that the members had met in a private house at 42a St James Road. Thanks in large part to generous donations from the community the church was able to be constructed on its current site.


By 1906 when the organ was installed the membership had risen to 60 and gas lighting was installed a year later. A decade late and alterations were already needing to be made to the original building to accommodate an extra 50 worshippers and a new pulpit was built at the same time. In 1928 the adjoining property at 7 St James Road was purchased in order for the church to expand still further.

Watford St James Road Baptist Church

By the 1950s the original church was falling into disrepair and a new plot of land was purchased up the road from the original site for a new church, plans for which were drawn up in 1953. The new church was built in 1955, and the old building remained to be used as a church hall. In the mid 1960s this building was then replaced with a new structure that could better serve the purpose of a church hall.
