  • Early Baptists in Leicestershire and Rutland

    Early Baptists in Leicestershire and Rutland

    Early Baptists in Leicestershire and Rutland (IV) PARTICULAR BAPTISTS; LATER DEVELOPMENTS Kilby-Amesby The origin of the Kilby-Arnesby church in south Leicestershir~ owes little if anything to the Baptist churches described so far.l It was led by Richard Farmer of Kilby, lind seems to have been organ­ ised ID the wake of the Act of Uniformity of 1662. It quickly became widespread, and maintained congregational church government, be­ lievers' baptism, personal election, and the final perseverance of God's people. Farmer's father Richard was for some years a Kilby churchwarden,2 as was his own son Richard.3 How often did families that produced churchwardens also produce Nonconformist leaders at critical times like 1662? Other instances among seventeenth century Midland Bap­ tists are the Curtises of Harringworth, Northamptonshire, and Na­ thaniel Locking of Asterby, Lincolnshire.4 Our Richard, a "yeoman"5 and "gent.",6 traded in silk. 7 He was a keen student,8 and left "unto my Sonne Isaack all my Books Except Phisick and Schirorgury Books", which went to his daughter Anne. Whatever theological works he owned went to the only child to join their father's church.9 Richard was buried in July, 1688, in Kilby parish churchyard.10 Farmer's influence was such that he spent three weeks in the county gaol during Monmouth's rebellion,l1 and distraint of goods for breach­ es of the Conventicle Act cost him £110 one year. 12 Although his meetings were called "Anabaptist" in 1669, his first licences, in November, 1672, as teacher at his own house in Kilby, were as "Congr[egationalist]".13 Houses at Wigston Magna, Fleckney, Tur Langton, and possibly Leicester, were licensed similarly at the same time.
  • Baptist Membership in Rural Leicestershire, 1881-1914

    Baptist Membership in Rural Leicestershire, 1881-1914

    386 BAPTIST MEMBERSHIP IN RURAL LEICESTERSHIRE 1881-1914 Leicestershire, from the Baptist viewpoint, is a significant county.l Two of the earliest chapels are at Sutton-in-the-Elms (1650) and Aroesby (1667). The birthplace of the New Connexion of General Baptist Churches was at Barton-in-the-Beans. Early in the nineteenth century there was a thriving network of chapels throughout the county. Nearer the end of the century, however, the Baptist chapels were experiencing harder times. Except on the peri-urban fringes of Leicester new chapels were no longer being founded; in some villages there were closures. The intention here is to analyse and attempt to explain the changes in Baptist membership which took place in rural Leicestershire between 1881 and 1914. On the national scene it is generally accepted that the Nonconformist population continued to grow steadily from 1881 to 1906 and thereafter to begin to decrease. Though after 1886 the increases no longer kept pace with population increases, as they had done eariier,2 Nonconformity nevertheless entered the tweQtieth century 'excited, confident, eager'. Their preachers were still listened to, money was more plentiful to meet the expenses of evangelical enterprise and there was access to university education.) D.W. Brogan, in The English People, however, stated that 'Nonconformity reached its height of political power ... round the beginning of the century', but that after the Liberal landslide of 1906 the decline of Nonconformity was 'one of the greatest changes in the English religious and social landscape' .4 To a great extent this was the result of disappointment and disillusionment over the failure of the Liberals to pass legislation to modify the Education Act 1902.
