Stoney Street Baptist Chapel is a former Baptist Church on Plumptre Place Road in Nottingham. It is a Grade II listed building. [1] Later it served as St. Mary's Schools, and then as a commercial premises.
Stoney Street Chapel was located on Plumptre Place, just off Stoney Street in Nottingham. The congregation formed from the Nottingham General Baptists in 1775. Initially from 1783, the congregation was based in the Methodist Tabernacle, but they built a new chapel in 1799.
In 1846, three friends established a new congregation in Sherwood, and this later developed to form Carrington Baptist Church, Nottingham.
In 1817 a disruption took place which split the church and caused a scandal. A young minister named Catton was engaged for a trial period. He was accused of indiscretion toward a woman. Rumours of the incident spread. They were denied and the congregation took sides. The church trustees dismissed Catton and advised the minister, Robert Smith, to take possession of the church. On 3 August 1817 the attempt was resisted by force, Smith withdrew from the church, and a third of its members went with him to found Broad Street Baptist Church. [2]
A further schism in 1849 formed Mansfield Road Baptist Church (initially known as Milton Street General Baptist Chapel). This schisms was caused by the question of whether a deacon, a butcher by trade, who had been guilty of using unequal weights, should be suspended.
A schism occurred in 1875, the causes of which are not clear, but many members of the church left and founded Woodborough Road Baptist Church. This left the Stoney Street chapel vulnerable, as the area had become commercial and industrial, and it was to survive as a chapel for only a few more years.
Stoney Street Baptist Chapel closed on 18 September 1887, [3] and many of the congregation joined Woodborough Road Baptist Church. The chapel was converted into buildings for St Mary’s School by the architect Thomas Chambers Hine.
In 1993 the buildings were again converted following a fire.

It was founded in 1719 to serve the large Baptist population of the ancient market town of Horsham—home of radical preacher Matthew Caffyn—and the surrounding area.
