Baptists believed very strongly in the importance of Sunday
Schools for children and they had regular attendances
of well over 100 in the mid-century. Throughout the
1840s and 1850s there were fierce arguments between
Baptists and Anglicans at public meetings over the future
of education in the village, before final agreement was
reached to build the British School in Fen End in 1856.
Baptist Internal Splits
With this astonishing rate of growth it was perhaps not
surprising that the Baptists would experience some internal
dissensions themselves. There were various secessions
in 1814, 1820 and 1838 to form separate congregations,
but the most dramatic was in 1875 when a new Pastor,
William Jackson, led a breakaway group to build a new
Baptist Tabernacle directly opposite the 1830 Chapel in
The Baptist Chapel
George Street. In contrast to the rather plain old Chapel,
the architecture of the new competing Tabernacle was
quite ornate with twin towers and pinnacles. It too had
a gallery. The two buildings remained (and competed) for
another 100 years until their demolition in the 1970s and
1980s respectively. The present Baptist Church in George
Street stands on the site of the demolished Tabernacle.

Meanwhile the Anglicans at the Parish Church undoubtedly
suffered during this period from absentee Rectors.
They were generally eminent academics at Cambridge
University and elsewhere, who spent little or no time in
Willingham. The record of John Graham, the Rector who
was appointed in 1843 is certainly impressive. When he

Willingham Wolves Ladies’ Football Club
In October 2020 our lead Girls’ and Ladies’ Coach,
Chloe Smith advertised that a new ladies football team
would be formed. The response was amazing and
what followed was months of training with the help of
experienced coach Neil Scrivener. Some of the ladies had
never played football before and have children in the
club already so this was an opportunity for them to also
get involved. Training during the winter months has now
seen this group of ladies confident enough to enter the
Cambridgeshire FA S-Tech Ladies league in September!
Over the coming months friendlies have been arranged
with other local ladies’ teams and the first test is on
Sunday 4 July against Manea United Siren Ladies at the
Recreation Ground, kick off is 3 pm. We would love to
see as many spectators as possible for this fixture to give Ladies’ First. Willingham Ladies are also looking for any
the ladies the support they deserve for all their hard work local business or businesses who would like to sponsor
up to now. them with their training kit. If this is of interest then please
