ABSTRACT Studies of a rising middle class in the nineteenth century have suggested that economic success was often accompanied by political influence, and a growing sense of social respectability. Tracing the business interests of one family from a grocer’s shop in the Cotswolds in the late eighteenth century to the establishment of a Bristol-based, internationally-known company in the nineteenth century, this case study suggests that the growth of denominational life offered wealthy Baptists a particular place of respectability and service.

It is well-written and easily read, and it provides the most comprehensive account of Christian witness in Wales that is currently available. It concludes with a bibliographical chapter outlining the resources available for those seeking to know more.

ABSTRACT Baptist historiography has generally assumed that the church at Bell’s Alley, London, led by Thomas Lambe, was a continuation of the first Baptist church, which returned to England from Amsterdam under the leadership of Thomas Helwys and was later led by John Murton. No evidence was adduced for this assumption, however, and it has recently been questioned on the basis that there is good evidence against it. I argue that the evidence against is less convincing than has been claimed, that at least one historical event strongly suggests continuity, and that there are in fact shared beliefs and practices that provide further evidence for continuity.
