2012 History of Ecclesiastical Census

In 1851 the Home Office took a voluntary census of all places of worship in the country.

The census returns contain the name and denomination of each place of worship, the date of consecration or erection, the space available for public worship, total attendance on 30th March 1851 and the average attendances in the previous year.

The returns for Worcestershire are arranged by registration districts and are available to view on microfilm and are located in the Self-Service Area of The Hive. The originals are held at National Archives Kew reference HO129/383-393.

How to use the handlist

This handlist is divided into three sections.

Section 1 is a guide to the contents of the microfilm of the 1851 ecclesiastical census and indicates the running order of the film.

In section 2 the information given in section 1 has been rearranged by religious denomination.

In section 3 the information given in section 1 has been rearranged alphabetically by place name.

The General Baptists divided in 1770 when the new connexion was formed. The old connexion became Unitarian. In 1891 the Particular Baptists and the new connexion merged to form the Baptist Union of Great Britain and Ireland.
