Whepstead Baptist Church Located on Rectory Road in Mickley Green, within Whepstead parish but some distance from the Anglican parish church, this chapel was built in 1844. It was recorded in the 1851 Census of Religious Worship that the Sunday congregation was 155 (attending three services) which compares with 310 attending the parish church. At the time the village population was 652; it is hard to imagine such figures now. The building is grade II listed.
