The Particular Baptist Church in Stalybridge was founded in 1813 when a small group seceded from the Baptist Church which had existed since 1806. At first they used Myles Schofield's garret in Old St but in 1824 they moved to the King St Chapel (Mount Zion). In 1827 there was a second split and some members joined with worshippers expelled from Albion Chapel Ashton. In 1835 they moved into the Congregational Church in Melbourne St. The remaining Baptists moved to Dyehouse Yard and in 1832 to the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Cross Leech Street. After 1842 - 43 their numbers were increased by a group under Rev. Barker who seceded from the Methodist New Connexion. In 1971 the Particular Baptists joined with the Wakefield Road General Baptists in a new church at Ridge Hill.
