Wainsgate Baptist Church is a redundant chapel standing in an elevated position above the town of Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, England (grid reference SD998288). The chapel and its attached school are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. The chapel is managed by the Historic Chapels Trust. The church was founded for the Particular Baptists in 1750. It was created as a consequence of the 18th-century Evangelical Revival and was inspired by Rev William Grimshaw, the incumbent of Haworth Parish Church. Its first minister was Richard Smith from Barnoldswick, and he was succeeded in 1764 by John Fawcett. In 1772 Fawcett wrote the words of the hymn "Blessed Be the Tie that Binds". The present chapel was built in 1859–60 and its furnishings were improved in the 1890s. The building attached to the back of the chapel was originally the manse, and in 1890 it was adapted for use as a school. The church closed in 2001, and in 2004 the Historic Chapels Trust took over its care. More information...
