For non-conformists, there were times of persecution in the late 1600s. In 1683 a minute from a church meeting reads, "This year presents us with rumours of trouble abroad." From 1700 onwards, times were more peaceful. In 1714, the church formally united with the believers at Fenstanton. Meetings would take place in both villages.
For a time the church met for worship in a cottage on Station Road, which is still known as Chapel Cottage. But in 1827, a more permanent place for the church was sought. They purchased a thatched barn from the Wesleyan Methodists. This is where the present church building is today.
The church sort of started afresh in 1829. It became independent from Fenstanton. A new pastor came. The building was renovated and completed in 1831, using bricks from nearby Pingle Wood. In 1899 the current frontage of the building was completed at a cost of £1,140.
In 1869 the church decided to establish a British School in Warboys. This was opened in 1870 and was given over to the government in 1902.
The weir began to be used for baptisms around this time. On April 6th, 1900, around 2000 people gathered for the baptisms of 9 believers. In 1933 a new baptistry was built - inside the building – which is still used today.
