Baxter Church

 

Richard Baxter’s presence in Kidderminster meant that the town was one of the birthplaces of the non conformist religious tradition in England and that fact is reflected in a number of buildings of note. The Baxter URC Church in the Bull Ring is the fourth church to sit on the site. Built in 1884-85 to the design of FW Taring it was listed in 1978. Immediately behind it, the Sunday School is also a listed building.
