Gainsborough "Old Hall" was used briefly for meetings by English Separatists in the early 1600's. After relocating to Holland, these Separatists began to practice more of the "Baptist" beliefs. Part of the group sailed to America and another part returned to England and started the first Baptist church in London in 1612.
