GB 0074 CLC/179 1664-1957 Collection 38 production units. Devonshire Square (Particular) Baptist Church

The church was founded in c 1653 by William Kiffin at Devonshire Square, although the archives of the Devonshire Square meeting includes one volume relating to its constitutional predecessor, the Turners' Hall meeting, previously at Petty France, Artillery Lane and Walbrook, which moved to Devonshire Square in 1727 (see Ms 20228/1B); and several volumes of the meeting which, although at Devonshire Square between c 1664 and 1727, nevertheless dissolved itself in the latter year being received into the Turners' Hall meeting, when it moved to Devonshire Square. The unification was thus effected so that the Turners' Hall meeting could continue to enjoy a bequest to which it was entitled only as a distinct church. The Devonshire Square site was sold in 1870 and the meeting moved to a new chapel in Stoke Newington Road in 1871 (see Ms 20242). The Shacklewell Baptist Church, Wellington Place, Stoke Newington, founded in 1822, was united to the Devonshire Square church in 1884.

The Shacklewell Baptist Church, Wellington Place, Stoke Newington founded in 1822, was united to the Devonshire Square church in 1884 and its archive deposited with the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library with that of the Devonshire Square church in 1982. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.
