Calne Baptist Church - Rebuild Project

After 300+ years on Castle Street, there will be a pause in services there while the church is demolished and rebuilt. The final worship was 15 February 2026, while services will continue at Bremhill View Clubhouse during the rebuild.

I was fortunate to be given access to film the church and the manse on 6 February, just a couple of weeks before the keys were passed to the contractors. The video below shows a walk through of the entrance and main building - I will look to publish more footage as time allows.

Between the 16 and 22 February, the church was cleared, with some items given to the community and other items put in storage.

The keys were passed to contractors, Gaiger Brothers on Monday, 23 February to progress the demolition of the site.

27 February 2026, the site has been closed off from public access.

On 8 March, there is clear progress from my previous visits (photograph from 6 February for comparison), with the front porch removed revealing the original external wall of the building.

While I shall endeavour to provide updates on the progress of this project, the best place to visit for updates and locations of services and activities is the Calne Baptist Church website.
