LIFE is full of dissent! Dissent over territory may be resolved by wars and treaties, legal dissent by courts, and even scientific dissent by peer review and the like. But religious dissent has a huge history and just seems to go on. The legacy is a host of chapels – some now private dwellings –- built by Baptists (of two kinds, General and Particular), Quakers, Congregationalists (or Independents), Methodists (Wesleyan and Primitive) and Presbyterians. There are also one-offs, like the chapel of the Countess of Huntingdon’s Congregation at Mortimer West End and an indeterminate Old Meeting House at Ringwood. In the early years there were as many as 20 ‘separatists’, such as the Grindletonians, Levellers, Muggletonians and Brownists. Some of these congregations endure, like the Baptists, who owe their origins to an Englishman in Amsterdam in 1609. Others have combined, like the Presbyterians and Congregationalists who in 1972 formed the United Reformed Church.
