Fulbourn - City of Refuge, Pierce Lane 2014-12-31

Built in 1855 for a congregation of Calvinistic Particular Baptists which had seceded from the village's former Baptist congregation as it moved towards Independency (it had been formally reconstituted as an Independent congregation in 1841). The City of Refuge remained in use into the 1870s, but was seldom open by 1885; it reopened in 1925 but had long been closed when it was sold by the Cambridge Baptists in 1970. It then became an outbuilding in the garden of the adjoining Old Mangle, but has more recently been converted into a residential annexe ( planning permission for this was granted in early 2001). www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/cambs/vol10/pp156-157 ; oldchapelfulbourn.co.uk/ .
