A General Baptist Chapel is marked in this location on the 1st edition 6" Ordnance Survey County Series map, published in this area in 1887. {1} The chapel and its associated burial ground are depicted on the 2nd edition 25" Ordnance Survey County Series map, published in this area in 1906. The chapel is marked as disused at this time. {2} The Goulceby and Asterby General Baptist Chapel is believed to have been built in this location at some point in the late 17th or early 18th century. This general area of Lincolnshire is known to have strong links to early Baptist non-conformism, with the prominent Baptist preacher Hanserd Knollys being born in the nearby village of Cawkwell. Knollys is known to have developed his Puritan views and preached in this wider part of Lincolnshire, after resigning his Anglican living at Humberston in 1631, and before establishing his larger church at London in 1641. A group of Baptist non-conformists are known to have been in the area around Asterby and Goulceby by the 1650s, and had established a church during the 1690s, shortly after the passing of the Toleration Act of 1689. It is not clear if they had constructed the chapel by this later point, however, or if they were still meeting in some of the congregation members' houses. The chapel and burial ground are known to be extant by 1722, when they were conveyed to the church in the deed of one of its members, William Tuxworth. Although marked as disused on the 1906 OS map, services are thought to have still occasionally have been held at the church until c.1912, when it ceased to be used. The chapel reportedly survived until about 1922, when it was demolished. The burial ground is still extant, with two standing gravestones still surviving, and the remains of possibly several more on site. {3}{4}{5}{6}
