THE NEWTHORPE BAPTIST STORY
EARLY BEGINNINGS.
John Smyth was a clergyman resident in Lincoln in the year 1606 when he decided to separate from the Church of England. He found a group of Separatists in the nearby town of Gainsborough and joined them. This Separatist Church suffered persecution and in the year 1608 emigrated to Holland financed by Thomas Helwys of Broxtowe Hall near Nottingham.
'While in Holland they came into contact with the Mennonites and adopted the beginnings of Baptist views.
1n 1612 Helwys returned to England and founded the first Baptist Church on English soil at Spittalfields, London. During the years that followed the Baptist cause was persecuted; and it flourished! There arose two main 'streams' of Baptists, the Particular and the General. During the following century they went their separate ways because of their religious doctrines, although they kept in contact with one another.
Centred at Barton-in-the-Beans in Leicestershire in 1741 a new Baptist Movement (partly influenced by the Methodists) was founded. This new Movement spread rapidly and a few years later saw the joining together of Old and New Movements into one Baptist Church.
